BPD2010 - 6th International Workshop on Business Process Design
In conjunction with the 8th International Conference on Business Process Management (http://bpm2010.org) 13 September 2010 Hoboken, New Jersey, USA
Final Call for Papers - Paper submission deadline: 24 May 2010 Workshop Background and Goals: Conscious (re)design of business processes is a powerful means for the pro-active improvement of process performance as well as for re-active achievement of higher process conformance. Despite being the most value-adding aspect of the process lifecycle, process design is still more art than science. Many methodologies on the subject remain vague about how to actually derive superior process design. The practice of business process design tends to rely on the creativity and previous experience of business professionals to come up with new, improved processes. Because of the variability in creativity levels, experience and tacit knowledge, the outcomes of such efforts are inconsistent and can thus undermine the potential benefits of Business Process Management (BPM) initiatives in organizations.
The aim of this workshop is to continue the ongoing and successful discussions of the last five BPD workshops to further nurture a body of knowledge on the disciplined, well-understood and appropriately evaluated design of business processes. We have witnessed in the previous BPD workshops that besides research on BPD methodologies, there is a trend and a focus on addressing constraints in process design, user involvement, process reference models and process design quality. Papers that introduce innovative tools for process design, as well as papers that address soft issues (human aspects) and quantitative aspects (e.g. financial evaluation of proposed process improvements), will be particularly welcome.
We aim to bring together researchers and practitioners who have an interest in advancing the state of the art in process design (in contrast to process modeling or execution). We seek contributions by authors who wish to share their innovative ideas and insightful observations on the subject. Two main categories of submissions will be considered: regular papers and industry papers.
Topics: The workshop exclusively focuses on aspects related to process design within the process lifecycle. This specialization excludes the well-researched process modeling and process execution aspects. Within this specialized scope, topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Process design objectives - Process inefficiencies diagnosis - Process design methods and methodologies - Process improvement patterns - Process design tools - Process design measures and evaluation - Process design in the cloud - Process reference models - Process innovation - Constraints in process design (e.g. legislative requirements, compliance) - Process design governance - Process design for emerging challenges (e.g. greening of processes) - Process design in collaborative environments - Human aspects (involvement, participation, acceptance) in process design - Linking process design to organizational strategy and goals - Success factors in process design - Case studies and experiments
Proceedings and Journal fast-track: All accepted papers will be published in Springer-Verlag workshop proceedings as a post-proceeding volume in their Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing (LNBIP) series. To increase the quality of published papers, BPD will rely on CD pre-proceedings that will include camera-ready papers revised by authors based on comments from the double-blind review process. Following the paper presentation and discussion at the workshop, a revised camera ready will be required for publication in the LNBIP series, which will be delivered to authors after the workshop. At least one author for each accepted paper must register for the workshop and present the paper. The best papers from the presented LNBIP proceeding submissions will be invited to the Australian Journal of Information Systems special issue on Business Process Management.
Paper Submission: Prospective authors are invited to submit papers for presentation in any of the areas listed above. Only papers in English will be accepted, and the length of the paper must not exceed 10 pages. All papers must be formatted in LNCS format (see http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html for details). The title page must contain a short abstract, a classification of the topics covered (preferably using the list of topics above) and must not list author details. Papers should be submitted electronically via the EasyChair submission system: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bpd2010. All submissions must be received no later than May 24th, 2010, and must be in PDF format.
Important dates: Paper submission deadline: 24 May 2010 Notification of acceptance: 21 June 2010 Camera ready: 6 July 2010 (for inclusion on CD pre-proceedings) Workshop day: 13 September 2010 Camera ready for LNBIP proceedings: 27 September 2010 LNBIP proceedings delivery to authors: December 2010
