Business Process Modeling, Development, and Support (BPMDS)
the 24th edition of the BPMDS series, in conjunction with
CAiSE’2023
BPMDS’2023 Working Conference
12-13 June 2023, Zaragoza, Spain
Sponsored by IFIP WG8.1 (International Federation for
Information Processing Working Group 8.1)
The Business Process Modeling, Development and Support
(BPMDS) working conference has been held for over two decades,
dealing with and promoting research on BPMDS. It has been a
platform for a multitude of influential research papers. In
keeping with its tradition, the working conference covers a
broad range of theoretical and application-based research on
BPMDS.
Starting with BPMDS 2023, we are introducing some
innovations in the submission process that will make
submission and participation even more attractive and
accessible.
Two-Phase Submission Process
1. Early-bird submissions: Papers submitted for this early
deadline will receive additional attention from senior PC
members, to help junior researchers flesh out their ideas.
Submissions in this round may receive a conditional
acceptance, after which the authors have additional time,
until the regular submission deadline, to improve their work
based on the received input.
2. Regular submissions: Regular submissions of papers,
following the usual review procedure.
January 15th, 2023
Early-bird paper deadline
February 15th, 2023
Early-bird notification: accept, reject, or resubmit:
March 7th, 2023
Regular paper and resubmitted early-bird paper deadline
April 1st, 2023
Notification: accept or reject
April 10th, 2023
Camera ready deadline
All deadlines are 23:59, AoE
Submission Types
Three types of papers are welcome as early-bird or regular
submissions:
a) Research papers (technical papers or empirical
evaluation papers) should report results in an advanced stage,
including at least a partial evaluation.
b) Experience reports present work completed or being
completed in the context of a real-life organization. The work
should have some practical goals, and present lessons learned
that can be applied in a generalized context.
c) Position papers should discuss new research positions or
ideas, demonstrating the shortcomings of current solutions or
raise new problems to be addressed.
Papers for all types should be up to 15 pages (including
references). The work must be unpublished and must not be
under review elsewhere.
Submissions should use the guidelines provided in
Submission
Publications
After the BPMDS’2023 conference, selected papers can be
published as extended versions in a special issue of the
International Journal on Software and Systems Modeling (SoSyM,
https://www.sosym.org/special_sections/).

The topics of papers that are welcome include, but are not
limited to:
Methods

business processes

BPM (i.e., business process engineering, modeling and
management)?
Awareness about the connected nature of business processes:
a business process is not an isolated island
Capability to better understand and analyze the systemic
behavior of a network of business processes thanks to
artefacts (models, visualizations)
