 Call for Papers

SoSyM Theme Issue:  The Human Perspective in Business Processes


The BPMDS (Business Process Modeling, Development and Support) series in conjunction with CAiSE focuses on business processes and their IT support -one of the keystones of information systems theory- since 1998.

BPMDS solicits papers related to Business Process Modeling, Development and Support (BPMDS) in general. To encourage new and emerging challenges and research directions in the area of business process modeling, development and support, we have a unique focus theme every year for the idea papers. The focus theme for BPMDS'2014 idea papers was:

            The human perspective in Business Processes

The human perspective is of essence since humans direct business processes rather than computers. It plays a major role in all phases of BPMDS. The human perspective in business process modeling relates to the individual who creates a process model, to the communication among people that is facilitated by the business process model during and after the modeling process, and to the social process of collaborative modeling. The human perspective in business process design relates to the kind of interaction / collaboration / coordination / cooperation that should to be implemented in the business process or to specific human-related aspects of the business process itself and their representations in models. The human perspective in business process support relates to all social aspects of the business process and its management in an organization.

The Journal of Software and Systems Modeling (SoSyM)  (http://www.sosym.org/) invites original, high-quality submissions for its theme issue on “The Human Perspective in Business Processes (BP)” focusing on topics related to BPMDS, including:

- Business Process Modeling: multi-perspectives on BP modeling, representations of humans in BP models, actor-driven (vs activity driven) representations of BPs, variability and adaptability of BP models, BP modeling enhanced by social software and social networks.
- Business Process Support: BP change management and governance issues, BP support combined with social software and social networks, actor support vs control support in BPs, enhancing creativity in BPs, mobile technologies and context aware BPs.
Requirements on Business Processes: flexibility, variability, adaptability, knowledge-intensive business processes, context aware business processes, cross-organizational business processes compliance, reliability, security, performance.
