************************************************************************* International Conference on Business Process Modeling, Development, and Support (BPMDS'2017) the 18th edition of the BPMDS series held in conjunction with CAiSE’17, 12-13 June 2017, Essen, Germany Submission deadline for short papers: April 10th, 2017 'Research-in-progress' or 'Lessons learned from practice' (up to 8 pages) Abstract submission (recommended): March 31st, 2017 The Call for Papers can be downloaded from http://www.bpmds.org ************************************************************************* IMPORTANT DATES: --------------- Short paper abstracts (recommended): March 31st, 2017 Submission deadline: April 10th, 2017 Notification of acceptance: April 30th, 2017 Camera-ready papers due: May 10th, 2017 ABOUT THE BPMDS 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 seventeen events from 1998 to 2016. 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 BACKGROUND AND AIMS: ------------------- BPMDS solicits papers related to Business Process Modeling, Development and Support (BPMDS) using quality, relevance, originality and applicability as main selection criteria. For the 18th edition of the BPMDS conference, we invite the interested authors to engage during the two days of BPMDS’2017 in Essen, and to take part in a deep discussion with all participants about the challenges of business transformation in the digitally connected world and the ways business process modeling, development and support may provide capabilities to deal with those challenges. The challenges result, among others, from the impacts of the ubiquity of the actors, social networks, new business models, the co-existence of flexibility, exception handling, context awareness and personalization requirements together with other compliance and quality requirements. Practitioners are producing business process models, researchers are studying/producing business process models, and also are producing new modeling languages when they consider that existing ones are not sufficient. What is beyond? Which kind of analyses can we make using those process models? How can we complete / enhance those process models with annotations, with data coming from everywhere out of the immediate process environment? How can the understanding we gain by working on those models in a sandbox help / facilitate the undergoing business transformation? TOPICS FOR DISCUSSION: ---------------------- Topics of interest include but are not limited to: Business transformation and BPMDS - How does BPMDS enable and contribute to analyzing / understanding / representing business transformation? - How does business transformation influence BPMDS? - How do projects of business process modeling, development and support contribute to increasing innovative capacities for business transformation? - What are the relationships between various types of BPS systems (SoS vs. WFMS, for instance) and types of transformation they help to support? - How do transformative technologies such as IoT, cloud-computing, Big Data, etc., impact BPMDS, particularly do they change the notion of business process? - How does the rise of platforms and bidirectional markets influence BPMDS? - What are cases where business process related projects supported / facilitated business transformation? - What are cases where business process related projects did not support / facilitate business transformation? - How can BPMDS contribute to integrating people for business transformation, e. g., via human-centric business processes? - Business process ecosystems in a connected and elastic world - Pervasive business processes and ubiquitous actors supporting business transformation - The roles of BPMDS in business analytics and in exploiting the data abundance (“Big Data”) - New capabilities of analysis of business process models to support business transformation Business Process Modeling - Business process modeling languages, notations and methods - Multi-perspectives on business process modeling - Coherence among multi-perspective representations - Theoretical foundations for analyzing, modeling business processes - Verification and validation of business process models - Variability and adaptability of business process models - Dynamic configuration: modeling by reuse - Granularity, development of reusable and context-aware components: modeling for reuse - Domain specific reference models and domain specific modeling languages - Decision management and BPMDS - Business process modeling enhanced by social software and social networks Business Process Development - Compliance, reliability, security, performance - Flexibility, variability, adaptability - Metrics, maturity and continuous improvement - Strategy, business processes, people and IT: alignment, fit and coherence - Knowledge-intensive business processes - Context aware business processes - Cross-organizational business processes - Data-intensive business processes - Business process change management and governance issues - Enhancing creativity in business processes Business Process Support - Theoretical foundations for simulating or executing business processes - Service orientation for better supporting business processes (appropriate level of flexibility, variability, granularity, ...) - Business process support combined with social software and social networks - Context aware work allocation in business processes - Actor support vs. control support in business processes - Mobile technologies and context aware business processes - Business processes using cloud-services SUBMISSIONS for SHORT PAPERS: ----------------------------- Short papers (up to 8 pages) may belong to two categories: - Research-in-progress: Those research papers present preliminary results that may not have been fully validated yet. The work presented (8 pages) should be advanced enough as to show its contribution and significance. Please follow the LNCS format instructions at http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html. The accepted short papers will be presented during BPMDS’17 and will be published in the BPMDS Radar proceedings. (Submission type in the conference management system = idea papers) - Lessons learned from practice : We welcome all practitioners to share with BPMDS participants and followers their own experience in the topics (see above) related to the BPMDS conference. This category of short papers with up to 8 pages follow the guidelines suggested in http://www.bpmds.org/guidelines. Conformity with LNCS guidelines is not mandatory for this category. The authors may use a free style in a word document. The accepted propositions will be presented during the BPMDS’17 industrial track and will be published in the BPMDS Radar proceedings. Short papers should be submitted in Adobe PDF format. The results described must be unpublished and must not be under review elsewhere. Please submit through the conference management system available at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bpmds2017. PUBLICATIONS: ------------ The "BPMDS Radar" Proceedings including all accepted short papers shall be submitted to CEUR-WS.org for online publication. CEUR proceedings are indexed by DBLP, Google Scholar, Scopus, CiteSeer/CiteSeerX, etc. The conference proceedings for full papers will be published in a Springer LNBIP volume (joint with EMMSAD), "Enterprise, Business-Process and Information Systems Modeling”, as the eight previous years (LNBIP 29, LNBIP 50, LNBIP 81, LNBIP 113, LNBIP 147, LNBIP 175, LNBIP 214, LNBIP 248).
