BPM 2012 is the tenth conference in a series that provides the most distinguished and specialized forum for researchers and practitioners in business process management (BPM). The conference has a record of attracting innovative research of highest quality related to all aspects of business process management, including theory, frameworks, methods, techniques, architectures, and empirical findings.

Submissions are invited for workshop proposals to be included in the BPM 2012 Workshop Program. Workshops are intended to facilitate the exchange of ideas and experiences between active researchers and stimulate discussions on new and emerging issues in line with the conference topics. Workshops may concentrate on specific research topics or may be devoted to applications and/or standardization issues.

All 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.

Proposals for workshops should include the following information:

·         Workshop title and acronym;

·         Outline of the workshop theme, goals, planned activities and intended audience;

·         An indication of whether the workshop is planned as a full day or a half day event;

·         Targeted or past acceptance rate(s);

·         Brief biography of each organizer;

·         The envisioned call for papers.

Note that the final decision about the acceptance format of a workshop (full day or half day) will be made by the workshop chairs.
