*Business Process Modeling, Development, and Support*
**
***the 21^st edition of the BPMDS series, **in conjunction with
CAiSE’2020***
**
*BPMDS’2010 Working Conference ***
*8-9 June 2020, Grenoble, France*
http://www.bpmds.org
*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 two decades, dealing with and
promoting research on BPMDS, and 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.
This year’s topic theme *“**BPM meets data**”* follows the
emergence of data science as a prominent area, and is thus
investigating various aspects of the relations between processes
and data. These relations can be viewed along the business process
life-cycle:
-Designing and modeling data-aware processes
-Integrating and incorporating different kinds and sources of data
in process execution environments (IOT, blockchain, network
traffic)
-Monitoring, assessing performance and conformance, and predicting
the outcomes of running processes using the data they generate
-Creating process models from various sources of data through
process discovery
*The topics of papers*to be submitted include, but are not limited
to the following:
BPM MEETS DATA
The topic theme is mandatory for Idea Paper submissions, all other
submissions are free to address any topic related to the fields of
Business Process Modeling, Development and Support, among which
are:
MODELS AND NOTATIONS
§Standard and non-standard perspectives on business processes
especially concerning data incorporation and analysis
§Meta-model and notation extensions
§New modeling languages and notations
§Domain-specific modeling languages
§Reference models
METHODS
§Theoretical foundations for analysis and modeling of business
processes
§Variability and adaptability of business process models
§Methods for the process of process modeling and its optimizations
§Social information systems and their applications
§Process mining
§Business Process Development
§Business process change management and governance issues
§Enhancing creativity in business processes
BUSINESSPROCESS DEVELOPMENT
§New paradigms and architectures for Business Process executions,
such as object-aware, data-intensive
§Location and context-dependence of business processes.
§Cross-organizational processes
§Data-intensive business processes
BUSINESSPROCESS SUPPORT
§Theoretical foundations for simulating or executing business
processes
§Context-aware work allocation in business processes
§Actor support vs. control support in business processes
§New platforms such as blockchains and smart contracts
****************************************************************************************
*Submissions***
Prospective conference participants are invited to submit a paper
that concerns the topics mentioned above and all other topics
related to business process modeling, development and support.
Three categories of submissions are welcome:
(1) *Full research papers* (technical papers or empirical
evaluation papers) should report results in an advanced stage,
including at least partial evaluation.
(2) *Experience reports *present work completed or being completed
in the context of a real-life organization. The work should have
some practical goal, and should essentially present lessons learnt
that can be applicable in a generalized context.
(3) *Idea papers* related to the focus theme “BPM meets data”;
should address completely new research positions or approaches,
demonstrating the shortcomings of current methods, tools,
meta-models, etc.
Full papers with up to 15 pages long or short papers with up to 8
pages can be submitted to these categories. The work must be
unpublished and must not be under review elsewhere.
Papers should be submitted in Adobe PDF format. Submissions should
use the Springer LNBIP/LNCS formatting templates
<http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.springer.de%2Fcomp%2Flncs%2Fauthors.html&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNHddPY1eqvRxO-q1X14quFPv37HAw>.
Submissions should follow the guidelines in
http://www.bpmds.org/guidelines and adhere to the formatting
instructions at
https://www.springer.com/comp/lncs/authors.html.
Please submit your paper in PDF format through the conference
management system at
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bpmds2020.
Note that the topic theme “BPMmeets data” is suggested to make
this year’s edition of BPMDS a special forum for this theme,
however, it is mandatory for “idea paper” submissions only.
****************************************************************************************

*About the Working Conference*
The topics addressed by the BPMDS series are focused on business
processes and their IT support. This is one of the keystones of
information systems theory beyond short-lived fashions. The
continued interest in this topic on behalf of the IS community is
reflected by the success of the past BPMDS events, and their
promotion from a workshop to a working conference.The BPMDS series
has produced twenty-one events from 1998 to 2020. From 2011, BPMDS
has become a two-day working conference attached to CAiSE
(Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering). The
basic principles of the BPMDS series are:
1.BPMDS serves as a meeting place for researchers and
practitioners in the areas of business development, and business
applications (software) development.
2.The aim of the event is mainly discussions, rather than
presentations.
3.Each event has a theme that is mandatory for idea papers.
4.Each event's results are, usually, published in a special issue
of an international journal.
The goals, format, and history of BPMDS can be found on the web
