CALL FOR PAPERS

BPD09 - 5th International Workshop on Business Process Design (http://workshop.process-redesign.org)

in conjunction with the 7th International Conference on Business Process Management (http://www.bpm2009.org) 7 September 2009 / Ulm, Germany

Goals The BPD09 workshop is dedicated to the design, evaluation and comparison of process design or process improvement techniques, tools and methods. It�s aim is to provide a snapshot of the current research dedicated to process design and to comprehensively cover process enhancement approaches such as TRIZ, reference (best practice) models, process innovation or resource-based approaches to process improvement. We appreciate diversity in the underlying research methodologies and welcome papers along the entire Design Science-Behavioral Science continuum.

Audience and Format The audience of the workshop consists of both BPM researchers and practitioners who have an interest in advancing the state of the art in process design (as in contrast to mere process modeling and execution). The BPD workshop has an established track record as a credible event affiliated with the BPM conference series and attracted over the last four years a high number of submissions. The last workshop in Milan (in conjunction with BPM 2008) attracted 21 submissions of which 7 were selected for presentation; some 30 people attended the workshop.

Important Dates Paper submission deadline: 7 May 2009 Notification of acceptance: 2 June 2009 Camera ready: 17 June 2009 Workshop day: 7 September 2009

Background Conscious (re)design of business processes is a powerful means for the pro-active improvement of process performance as well as for the more re-active achievement of higher process conformance. Despite its popularity and obvious pay-offs, process design is still more art than science. Many methodologies on the subject remain relatively vague about how to actually derive superior process designs. The practice of business process design tends to rely on the creativity of business professionals to come up with new process lay-outs, but the outcomes of such efforts are hard to predict. More scientific approaches have focused often on only small, well-understood business domains and are either centered around atomic improvement proposals or rather general reference models. Overall, much more attention is devoted to process modeling techniques and standards. In a way, this is similar to agreeing on the language, without knowing what to say. The aim of this workshop is to continue the ongoing and successful discussions of the last three BPD workshops to further nurture a body of knowledge on the disciplined, well-understood and appropriately evaluated design of business processes.

We have witnessed in the previous BPD workshops that besides research on BPD methodologies, there is a trend and a focus on addressing constraints in process design, user involvement, process reference models and process design quality. Papers that introduce innovative tools for process design as well as soft issues (human aspects) and quantitative aspects (e.g. financial evaluation of proposed process improvements) will be particularly welcome.

We aim to bring together researchers and practitioners who have an interest in advancing the state of the art in process design (as in contrast to mere process modeling). We seek contributions by authors who wish to share their innovative ideas and remarkable observations on the subject. Two main categories of submissions/presentations will be considered: a) regular papers and b) industry papers. All submissions have to follow the procedure explained below under the heading "Paper Submission".

Topics

Topics of the workshop include but are not limited to: - Process (re)design objectives - Process inefficiencies diagnosis - Process (re)design methods and methodologies - Process (re)design tools - Process (re)design evaluation - Process reference models - Process innovation - Constraints in process design (e.g. legislative requirements, compliance) - Process design governance - Process design for emerging challenges (e.g. greening of processes) - Collaborative process design - Human aspects (involvement, participation, acceptance) in process design - Process (re)design in the large - Linking process design to the design of strategies - Process design maintenance - Success factors in process design - Case studies and experiments

Format of the Workshop

The workshop will consist of presentations of the accepted papers and an additional keynote speaker. Papers will be reviewed by at least three members of the program committee. All accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings published by Springer-Verlag as a post-proceeding volume in their Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing (LNBIP) series. At least one author for each accepted paper has to register for the workshop and present the paper.

Paper Submission

Prospective authors are invited to submit papers for presentation in any of the areas listed above. Only papers in English will be accepted. Length of full papers must not exceed 12 pages. There is no possibility to buy additional pages. Papers should be submitted in the new LNBIP format (http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-7-487211-0). Papers have to present original research contributions not concurrently submitted elsewhere. The title page must contain a short abstract, a classification of the topics covered, preferably using the list of topics above, and an indication of the submission category (regular paper/position paper/tool report). Papers (preferably in PDF format) should be submitted electronically.
