Call for Contributions to the Doctoral Consortium
at the 12th International Conference on Business Process Management
7-12 September 2014, Haifa, Israel
http://bpm2014.haifa.ac.il
******************************************************************************
Current PhD students working in the area of Business Process Management
(BPM) are invited to submit their proposals for participation in a
Doctoral Consortium, which will be held on Sunday, 07 September 2014, in
conjunction with the 12th International Conference on Business Process
Management (BPM 2014) in Haifa, Israel.
The Doctoral Consortium has the following objectives:
* To provide valuable feedback on students' research methods and plans
* To provide helpful guidance on students' research directions and topics
* To promote the development of a community of scholars that will help
students in their future careers
* To provide students with opportunities to meet and interact with
other researchers in the area of BPM
The PhD candidates of the accepted proposals are expected to present
their research at the Doctoral Consortium. We welcome submissions
representing a broad spectrum of research topics related to BPM and
stemming from a variety of disciplines ranging from Computer Science to
Behavioural and Organisational Science. Participants of the consortium
will benefit from the advice of senior researchers in the field and from
the interaction with peers being at a similar stage of their careers.
############################
Submission
############################
PhD students interested in engaging in detailed discussions on their
research at the Doctoral Consortium should submit an extended abstract,
which describes their thesis work and in particular provides clear
discussions on:
* The research problem being addressed
* The research methodology and techniques being applied
* The solution being proposed and its validity
* The relation of the work to the state of the art in BPM (research)
* The expected contribution of the work to the field of BPM
The extended abstract should be discussed with the respective PhD
supervisor/s before submission. It should be written in English using
11pt font and 1.5 line space in maximum 4 (A4) pages. It should be
submitted (as a single PDF file) by midnight (EST) by 16 June 2014 via
the BPM 2014 Doctoral Consortium EasyChair Submission Website:
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bpm14dc
############################
Review Process
############################
The submitted proposals will be reviewed by the Doctoral Consortium
Committee. The review of the reported research work in each proposal
will take into account its originality, its potential for advancing the
BPM field, and whether the work is at a stage where the PhD candidate of
the proposal can benefit from participating in the consortium. Rejected
submissions will receive written feedback. Confidentiality of
submissions will be maintained throughout the review process.
############################
Notification
############################
Authors will be notified of the result of their submission on 8 July
2014. Accepted doctoral candidates will receive instructions on how to
submit a camera-ready copy of their proposal, and will receive
information on the preparation of the presentation and poster (see 'At
the Conference' next).
Acceptance to the Doctoral Consortium is an honour, in turn, accepted
candidates are expected to fully commit themselves to the success of the
consortium by being open to new ideas and suggestions and providing
ideas and suggestions to other participants. All accepted contributions
will be circulated among the participants about one week before the
consortium.
############################
At the Conference
############################
Accepted submissions will be presented both at the Doctoral Consortium,
which is a venue open only to participants, and as a poster at the
conference. All participants are expected to attend every session of the
consortium. Each student will present his or her work to the group with
substantial time provided for discussions and questions by participating
researchers and other students.
We are currently working together with the organizers of the BPM
conference towards securing funds that will enable us to cover expenses
for a selected number of participants.
