AMCIS 2010 Call for Papers 

Business Process Management and Innovation mini-track [Systems Analysis &
Design track]

August 12-15, 2010, Lima, Peru 
http://www.amcis2010.org 

Over the past 15 years attitudes toward business processes have changed
significantly within organizations. What started with Total Quality Management
initiatives and continued through Business Process Reengineering (BPR) projects
of the early1990s has evolved into a comprehensive management practice that
permeates both the business and the technology side of organizations. Business
Process Management (BPM) can be defined as methods and tools surrounding the
definition, implementation, and improvement of lateral processes in
organizations. BPM tools and techniques play a significant role in both
intra-organizational and inter-organizational process design. As BPM continues
to gain importance in today’s organization, an increasing number of studies
detail efficiency, effectiveness and agility improvements resulting from
process management initiatives. Innovative industrial implementations and
applications of BPM methods and techniques are of much interest today, given
their potential for bringing significant gains to the enterprise through the
automated coordination of activities, process participants and the integration
of applications. 

This mini-track seeks contributions that discuss the management of business
processes as well as technologies for process automation. We encourage
submissions from both a managerial as well as a technical perspective.

Suggested topics include, but are not limited to, the following: 

-Business process automation and workflow management systems
-Business process and rule modeling, languages and design patterns
-Strategies for business process design and innovation
-Service-oriented architectures for BPM
-Resource management and  capacity planning in BPM
-Information security and assurance in BPM
-Business process monitoring and controlling
-Process mining and its applications
