18th International Business Process Management Conference (BPM
2020) Sevilla
(Spain), September 13-18, 2020
https://congreso.us.es/bpm2020/
== CALL FOR PAPERS ==
The International Conference on Business Process Management (BPM)
is the
premium forum for researchers and practitioners in the field of
BPM. The
conference embraces the interdisciplinary nature of BPM to its
fullest extent.
To this end, the conference explicitly seeks to bring together the
finest
research contributions and viewpoints from the fields of computer
science,
information systems engineering, and information system
management, insofar as
they enhance or refine the existing portfolio of theories, methods
and tools
for managing and improving business processes.
To accommodate for this diversity, the BPM conference is
structured into three
tracks: Foundations, Engineering, and Management. Each track
covers different
phenomena of interest and different research methods and,
accordingly, each
track has different evaluation criteria, a separate track chair
and a
dedicated program committee.
-- Track I: Foundations (Chair: Dirk Fahland)
Track I invites papers that follow computer science research
methods. This
includes papers that investigate the underlying principles of BPM
systems,
computational theories, algorithms, semantics, and methods for
modeling and
analyzing business processes. This track also covers papers on
novel
languages, architectures, and other concepts underlying process
aware
information systems, as well as papers that use conceptual
modeling techniques
to investigate problems in the design and analysis of BPM systems.
-- Track II: Engineering (Chair: Chiara Ghidini)
Track II invites papers that focus on engineering aspects of
information
systems research. The focus is on the investigation of artifacts
and systems
in business environments. All papers in this track must include
strong
empirical evaluations that are rigorous and repeatable and that
critically
test criteria like usefulness or added value of the proposed
artifact (for
example by showing considerable performance improvements compared
to past
work). This track covers business process intelligence, including
process
mining techniques, and the use of process models for enactment,
model-driven
engineering, as well as interaction with services and deployment
architectures
like the Cloud. It also covers BPM systems in particular domains,
such as
digital health, smart mobility, or Internet of Things.
-- Track III: Management (Chair: Jörg Becker)
Track III invites papers that aim to advance our understanding of
how BPM can
deliver business value or competitive advantage, for instance by
developing
capabilities to improve, innovate, or transform organizations or
to tackle the
challenges and opportunities of digitalization. Papers that study
process
thinking, organizational routines, process innovation, and the
application and
impact of BPM methods and tools in use contexts based on empirical
observation
are highly welcome, too. Areas of interest include a wide range of
capability
areas that are relevant for BPM, such as strategic alignment,
governance,
methods, information technology, and human aspects including
people and
culture.
== SUBMISSIONS ==
Each paper must be submitted to exactly one track. Papers must be
formatted
according to Springer’s LNCS formatting guidelines. Submissions
must be in
English and must not exceed 16 pages. The title page must contain
a short
abstract clarifying the relation of the paper with the topics
above. The paper
must clearly state the problem being addressed, the goal of the
work, the
results achieved, and the relation to other work. Student papers
are treated
as regular papers in the review process. Importantly, the
contribution under
lying a student paper must be carried out mainly by the (PhD)
student(s), but
others (advisors, collaborators, etc.) can appear as authors as
well. When
submitting the paper, student papers must be clearly marked as
such in the
EasyChair system. To be eligible for the best student paper award,
student
papers have to be presented at the conference by a student author.
Papers must be submitted electronically in PDF format via
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bpm2020.
Submissions must be original contributions that have neither been
published
previously nor submitted to other conferences or journals while
being
submitted to BPM 2020. Accepted papers will be included in the
conference
proceedings published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in
Computer Science
series.
Innovative papers which have high potential of stimulating
discussion at the
conference but does not fully meet the quality criteria for the
main
conference will be invited for presentation at the BPM Forum.
Those papers
will be published in full length in a separate post-proceedings
volume in the
Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing series.
First-time submitters to BPM may request to be considered for a
pre-submission
shepherding program in which a selected BPM PC member advises on
the
presentation and positioning of a shepherded paper.
== KEY DATES ==
* Full paper submission (strict deadline): 16 March 2020
* Notification: 11 May 2020
* Camera-ready paper submission: 8 June 2020
* Conference: 15-17 September 2020
There is no separate deadline for abstract submission.
Deadlines correspond to anywhere on earth (AoE).
== CONSOLIDATION CHAIR ==
Marlon Dumas, University of Tartu, Estonia.
