*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 site: http://www.bpmds.org/history
