IEEE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON PROCESS MINING (ICPM)
Aachen (Germany), 24-28 June 2019
http://icpmconference.org
CALL FOR PAPERS
The IEEE International Conference on Process Mining (ICPM) aims to
become the premium forum for researchers, practitioners and
developers in process mining. The objective is to explore and
exchange knowledge in this field through scientific talks,
industry discussions, contests, technical tutorials and panels.
The conference covers all aspects of process mining research and
practice, including theory, algorithmic challenges, applications
and the connection with other fields.
Process mining is an innovative research field which focusses on
extracting business process insights from transactional data
commonly recorded by IT systems, with the ultimate goal of
analyzing and improving organizational productivity along
performance dimensions such as efficiency, quality, compliance and
risk. By relying on data rather than perceptions gained from
interviews and workshops, process mining shifts the way of
thinking from "confidence-based" to "evidence-based"
business process management. Thus, process mining distinguishes
itself within the information systems domain by its fundamental,
evidence-based focus on understanding, analyzing, and improving
business processes. Compared with other data-driven research areas
such as machine learning or data mining, process mining differs in
the fundamental assumptions that data is generated in the context
of more or less structured processes, and that the data contains
explicit references to instances of these processes. Another key
difference with other data-analysis techniques is that analysis
results have to be explained in the context of these (interacting)
processes.
Current process mining challenges include scalability, i.e.
dealing with volume, velocity and variability of input data,
especially in real-time/online settings using event streams;
approximation, i.e. balancing computation time with accuracy;
understandability and explainability, i.e. providing
easy-to-understand and explainable analytics; multi-perspective
analysis, i.e. considering data, resources and time beyond the
process control flow; measurability, e.g., providing a
comprehensive framework for measuring differences between observed
and modelled process behavior, and ethical aspects of process
mining, i.e. how to ensure that process mining procedures and
results do not violate ethical principles.
ICPM 2019 will take place in Aachen, Germany, under the auspices
of the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society, and supported by
the IEEE Task Force on Process Mining. Aachen, a city in North
Rhine-Westphalia, is well-known for its historic old-town center
and the lively student life. Aachen offers many places of
interest, including Aachen Cathedral in the heart of the city. The
building was completed at the end of the 8th century by Emperor
Charlemagne and became the first UNESCO World Heritage site in
Germany. The Elisenbrunnen fountain represents Aachen as a spa and
bathing city. Not only the Romans appreciated these hot springs,
but also Charlemagne. ICPM will be co-located with the 40th
International Conference on Application and Theory of Petri Nets
and Concurrency (Petri Nets 2019), and the 19th IEEE International
Conference on Application of Concurrency to System Design (ACSD
2019). The three events will take place in the conference area of
the Tivoli football stadium close to the Aachen's city center.
ICPM 2019 encourages papers on new techniques and applications for
process mining, as well as case studies coming from industrial
scenarios. Also, papers describing novel process mining tools are
expected. For new techniques, the availability of an
implementation (which has to be accessible by the reviewers) is
essential. Authors are expected to provide insights into the
performance of new techniques on established, publicly-available
benchmark datasets, or to release their datasets for replicability
purposes. Empirical papers should build, where possible, on novel
datasets previously unpublished, while research on existing
datasets must clearly explain the novelty of the applied analysis.
The thematic areas in which contributions are sought include, but
are not limited to, those listed below. Process mining techniques:
- Automated discovery of process models
- Conformance/compliance analysis
- Construction of event logs
- Improving quality of event logs
- Decision mining for processes
- Mining from non-process-aware systems / event streams
- Multi-perspective process mining
- Simulation/optimization and process mining
- Predictive process analytics
- Prescriptive process analytics and recommender systems -
Privacy, security and ethics
- Process model repair
- Process performance mining
- Process mining quality measures
- Variants/deviance analysis and root-cause analysis
- Visual process analytics
Applications and case studies in:
- Business Activity Monitoring and Business Intelligence
- Business Process Management
- Operations Management and Lean Six Sigma
- Process Performance Measurement
- Process Reengineering - Resource Management
- Risk Management
- Robotic Process Automation (RPA)
- Sensors, Internet-of-Things (IoT) and wearable devices
- Specific domains such as accounting, finance, government,
healthcare, manufacturing
SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS
Submissions must be original contributions that have not been
published previously, nor submitted elsewhere while being
submitted to ICPM 2019.
All files must be prepared using the latest IEEE Computational
Intelligence Society conference proceedings guidelines (8.5" × 11"
two-column format). The page limit for regular papers is 8 pages.
All papers must be in English. In addition to regular submissions,
there will be a tools section. Tools will be presented at the
conference in an interactive session. Related papers will describe
a tool, its functionality and interfaces as well as the underlying
algorithms and implementation aspects. These tool papers are
limited to 4 pages.
Conference proceedings will be submitted for inclusion to IEEE
Xplore. Accepted regular and tool papers will be included in the
conference proceedings. At least one author of each accepted
contribution is expected to present the paper or tool at the
conference, and required to sign a copyright release form.
All papers are to be submitted via EasyChair:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf= icpm2019. Selected papers
will be considered for publication in extended and revised form in
a special issue of an international journal.
