DEADLINE EXTENDED!
5th International Workshop on Event-Driven Business Process Management collocated with BPM 2011 http://icep-edbpm11.fzi.de/
Clermont-Ferrand, France August 29th
The recently coined term<Event-Driven Business Process Management> (EDBPM) is nowadays an enhancement of BPM by new concepts of Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), Event Driven Architecture (EDA), Software as a Service (SaaS), Business Activity Monitoring (BAM) and Complex Event Processing (CEP). edBPM11 will continue the work of previous edBPM workshops in exchanging novel ideas, methods, tools and solutions for the event-driven BPM, with the main goal to connect research and industry in better understanding what can be done from the research point of view and what is the need from the industry/business point of view. In this context BPM means a software platform which provides companies the ability to model, manage, and optimize these processes for significant gain. As an independent system, CEP is a parallel running platform that analyses and processes events. The BPM- and the CEP-platform correspond via events which are produced by the BPM-workflow engine and by the - if distributed - IT services which are associated with the business process steps. Also events coming from different event sources in different forms can trigger a business process or influence the execution of a process or a service, which can result in another event. Even more, the correlation of these events in a particular context can be treated as a complex, business level event, relevant for the execution of other business processes or services. A business process - arbitrarily fine or coarse grained - can be seen as a service again and can be "choreographed" with other business processes or services, even between different enterprises and organizations. Loosely coupled event-driven architecture for BPM provides significant benefits: * Responsiveness. Events can occur at any time from any source and processes respond to them immediately, whenever they happen and wherever they happen. * Agility. New processes can be modeled, implemented, deployed, and optimized more quickly in response to changing business requirements. * Flexibility. Processes can span heterogeneous platforms and programming languages. Participating applications can be upgraded or changed without breaking the process model.
TOPICS ------ Authors are invited to submit novel contributions in the prior described problem domain. * Event-driven BPM: Concepts o Role of event processing in BPM o Business Events: types and representation o Event stream processing in business processes o Data- and event-driven business processes * Design-time CEP and BPM o Modelling events in human-oriented tasks o Semantics/Ontologies for event-driven BPM o Publish/subscription mechanism and process modelling * Run-time CEP and BPM o Event pattern detection o BPEL and event processing o Reasoning about unknown/similar events * Applications/Use cases for event-driven BPM o Event-driven monitoring/BAM o Event-driven SLA monitoring
SUBMISSIONS ----------- The following types of submission are solicited: * Long paper submissions, describing substantial contributions of novel ongoing work. Long papers should be at most 12 pages long. * Short paper submissions, describing work in progress. These papers should be at most 6 pages long. * Use case submission, describing results from an edBPM use case. These papers should be at most 4 pages long.
Papers should be submitted in the new LNBIP format (http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-7-487211-0). Papers have to present original research contributions not concurrently submitted elsewhere. The title page must contain a short abstract, a classification of the topics covered, preferably using the list of topics above, and an indication of the submission category (Long Paper/ Short Paper).
