Dear colleague,

I would like to draw your attention to a workshop on Social Business Process

Management organized by Andreas Oberweis (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology),

Frank Schönthaler (PROMATIS software GmbH) and Gottfried Vossen (University

of Münster).

We are looking forward to receiving submissions on this new and relevant

research topic in BPM.

With kind regards,

Nicolas Pflanzl, on behalf of Gottfried Vossen

Workshop on Social Business Process Management (SBM 2013)

In conjunction with the 15th IEEE Conference on Business Informatics (CBI 2013)

July 15th, 2013 Vienna, Austria

http://sbm2013.uni-muenster.de/

2nd Call for Papers

Extended Deadline: March 15th, 2013

Background

==========

Modeling languages and methods that are suitable for designing and specifying

real-world business processes thoroughly and with a high degree of quality have

been proposed in a high variety during the past 20 years, with some of them

being more successful than others, and several being the foundation of an

interactive tool for business process modeling (BPM). Experience has shown

that the benefit of a business process model is greatest when it reflects the

knowledge and creativity of all involved stakeholders, whether they are

internal employees of an enterprise, employees of partner enterprises, or

generally people whose knowledge can directly or indirectly contribute to the

design of the business process under consideration. Social BPM (SBM) reflects

this recognition and is based on the perception that business process

management is not the task of an individual or a selected group, but is a

responsibility of the whole enterprise, and all involved business partners, and

possibly external knowledge carriers. BPM itself thus becomes a collaborative

process, and its quality depends largely upon the quality of collaboration, in

terms of work efficiency and quality of results. In addition to the social

components, the communication possibilities within the business community play

a key role. In a sense, SBM is a consequence and exploitation of the

communication and collaboration possibilities that have been brought along with

the Web 2.0 developments of the past 10 years.

Topics

======

The primary goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers and

practitioners who are interested in SBM as a paradigm, or who can contribute

experience and cases of its applications. It will address the motivational,

organizational, business and technical issues associated with the adoption of

SBM practices in the enterprise. To this end, the SBM workshop calls for

contributions that address fundamental research, system issues, empirical

evaluation, and industrial experiences in social business process modeling and

management, including, but not limited to, the following topics:

- Application areas for social BPM

- SBM success stories

- Design approaches for socially-enabled processes

- Infrastructure requirements for SBM

- Leveraging social networking in SBM

- Crowdsourcing business process modeling

- Handling of collaborative design transactions

- Roles and skills required to implement socially-enabled processes

- Management of a design community

- Success and value measurement for socially-enabled processes

- SBM in the Cloud

- Tools for SBM

Submissions

===========

Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished research papers that are not

being considered in another workshop. Manuscripts will be limited to 8

(IEEE style) pages. Please follow the IEEE Computer Society Press Proceedings

Author Guidelines to prepare your papers with 8.5" x 11", two-column format.

Pre-submission of abstracts is optionally provided for authors one week before

the paper submission deadline. At least one author is required to attend the

conference and present the paper. Electronic submission of manuscripts (in PDF)

is required. All papers selected for this workshop are peer-reviewed and will

be published in the regular conference proceedings by the IEEE Computer Society

Press.

Important Dates

===============

Submission of papers: March 15th, 2013

Notification of acceptance: April 30th, 2013

Camera-ready: May 15th, 2013

Workshop: July 15th, 2013

Participation

=============

Participation in the workshop requires a registration for the 15th IEEE

Conference on Business Informatics (CBI 2013). More information can be found at

the conference website (http://cbi2013.isis.tuwien.ac.at/). Presentations will

be held on the first half of July 15th, with the other half of the day being

devoted to a Social BPM Lab. Enrollment for the BPM Lab will be performed as

part of the conference registration.

Social BPM Lab

==============

The basic idea of the Social BPM Lab is that the members of a business

community collaborate in a Web 2.0-based social network, to define business

objectives, strategies and business processes together or even just to find a

common understanding of the organization. Participants perceive the Lab as a

unique experience in which they accomplish tasks together as a team, take on

responsibility and contribute new ideas. Group dynamic processes empirically

provide for quite some surprising results that will help overcome barriers,

finding compromises and strengthen the sense of community. The Lab acts as a

catalyst for creativity and willingness to compromise and helps to form a

common understanding of processes and organizational structures.
