WorldCIST 2019

Workshop “Emerging Trends and Challenges in Business Process Management (ETCBPM)”

The WorldCist'19 - 7th World Conference on Information Systems and Technologies, to be held at La Toja Island, Galicia, Spain, 16 - 19 April 2019, is a global forum for researchers and practitioners to present and discuss the most recent innovations, trends, results, experiences and concerns in the several perspectives of Information Systems and Technologies.

Workshop Scope

Business Process Management (BPM), as a field of both research and practice, has been maturing and increasing its span. However, more than improvement, we need to foster true innovation in business processes that should be increasingly adaptive, flexible and generative rather than structured, formalized and stable. That will require BPM to take advantage of recent breakthroughs in business intelligence, knowledge management, big data, cloud computing, social computing, internet of things or complex event processing to name a few. Information Systems research can significantly contribute to the future of BPM addressing both technical and organizational issues. Topics

This workshop explicitly encourages papers that report on novel applications of concepts, theories and technologies that are of interest to IS scholars reflecting emerging trends and challenges in business process management research and practice.

We seek contributions in topics including but not limited to:

· Adaptive Case Management

· BPM and BI

· BPM and Cloud Computing

· BPM and Crowdsourcing

· Collective Adaptive Processes

· Complex Event Processing

· Human-centric Processes and Knowledge-intensive Processes

· Mobile Processes

· Process Data Warehousing

· Process Mining

· Process Simulation

· Processes in the Internet of Things and Wearable Devices

· Social BPM

· User-centric Aspects of BPM

Submissions

Prospective authors are encouraged to submit papers for evaluation by the Program Committee. All papers must follow the formatting rules for Proceedings in Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing Series (see Instructions for Authors at Springer Website or download a Word Template or Latex Package) and be written in English.

Two types of papers can be submitted:

· Full paper: Finished or consolidated R&D works (10-page limit).

· Short paper: Ongoing works with relevant preliminary results, open to discussion (7-page limit).

All papers should be submitted using the link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=worldcist-workshops2019

Review Process

All papers will be subjected to a “double-blind review” by at least two/three members of the Program Committee. Based on Program Committee evaluation, a paper can be rejected or accepted by the Workshop Chairs. The version of papers for evaluation by the Program Committee, saved in PDF format, must not include identification, e-mail and affiliation of the authors. This information must only be available in the camera-ready version of accepted papers, saved in Word or Latex format and also in PDF format. These files must be accompanied by the Consent to Publish form filled out, in a ZIP file, and uploaded at the conference management system.

Publication

Full and short papers accepted and registered will be published in Proceedings by Springer, will be submitted for indexation by ISI, EI-Compendex, SCOPUS and DBLP, among others, and will be available in the SpringerLink Digital Library. The authors of the best selected papers will be invited to extend them for publication in renowned international journals indexed by ISI, SCOPUS and DBLP (see WorldCIST conference website for more details).
