CFP: 1st Intl. Workshop on Theory and
Applications of Process Visualization (TAProViz'12)
Visualizations can make the
structure and dependencies between elements in processes
accessible in order to support users who need to analyze
process models and their instances. However, effectively visualizing processes
in a user-friendly way is often a big challenge,
especially for complex process models which can consist
of hundreds of process components (e.g., process
activities, data flows, and resources) and thousands of
running process instances in different execution states.
Many challenges remain to be
addressed within the broad area of process visualization
such as: scalability, human-computer interaction,
cognitive aspects, applicability of different
approaches, collaboration, process evolution, run-time
requirements of process instances and applications, etc.
Topics of interest include
(but are not limited to):
Visual Metaphors in Processes
Visual Design and Aesthetics
for Processes
Visualization of Dynamic Data
in Processes
Change Visualization for
Processes
Interface and Interaction
Techniques for Process Visualization
Visualization Techniques for
Collaboration and Distributed Processes
Visualization of Large-scale
Processes
Cognition and Perception in
Process Visualization
Evaluation and User Studies of
Process Visualization
Visual Modeling Languages
Analysis Techniques and
Visualization for Processes
Process Visualization of Large
Screens
Mobile Process Visualization
Visualization Tools and
Systems for Processes
Visualization Techniques for
Processes
Process Visualization and
Sonification
Virtual World Process

Format of the Workshop
The 1/2 day workshop will
comprise accepted papers and tool presentations. Papers
should be submitted in advance and will be reviewed by
at least three members of the program committee. All
accepted papers will appear in the workshop proceedings
published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Business
Information Processing (LNBIP) series. There will be a
single LNBIP volume dedicated to the proceedings of all
BPM workshops. As this volume will appear after the
conference, there will be informal proceedings during
the workshop. At least one author for each accepted
paper should register for the workshop and present the
paper.
Important Dates
Deadline for workshop paper
submissions: 1 June 2012
Notification of acceptance: 2
July 2012
Camera-ready version: 30 July
2012
Workshop: 3 September 2012
Paper Submission
Prospective authors are
invited to submit papers for presentation in any of the
areas listed above.
Three types of submissions are
possible:
full papers (12 pages long)
reporting mature research results
position papers reporting
research that may be in preliminary stage that has not
yet been evaluated
tool reports
Position papers and tool
reports should be no longer than 6 pages.
Only papers in English will be
accepted and must present original research
contributions not concurrently submitted elsewhere.
Papers should be submitted in the LNBIP
(www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-791344-0)
format. 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 (regular paper/position paper/tool
report).
All accepted workshop papers
will be published by Springer as a post-workshop
proceedings volume in the series Lecture Notes in
Business Information Processing (LNBIP). Hard copies of
these proceedings will be shipped to all registered
participants approximately four months after the
workshops, while preliminary proceedings will be
distributed during the workshop.
Submitted papers will be
evaluated, in a double blind manner, on the basis of
significance, originality, technical quality, and
exposition. Papers should clearly establish their
research contribution and the relation to the theory and
application of process visualization.
Registration
Accepted papers imply that at
least one of the authors will register for the BPM2012 (http://bpm2012.ut.ee/cfp/)
and present the paper at the TAProViz workshop.
