BPM 2018 - JOINT CALL FOR WORKSHOP PAPERS


BPM 2018 is the 16th conference in a series that provides the most prestigious forum for researchers and practitioners in the field of Business Process Management (BPM). The conference has a record of attracting innovative research of highest quality related to all aspects of business process management, including theories, frameworks, methods, techniques, architectures, and empirical findings. BPM 2018 will take place in Sydney, Australia.

The conference will be complemented by a varied selection of co-located workshops and an Education Symposium, for which we would like to renew our invitation to submit your work. Workshop papers will be published by Springer as a post-workshop proceedings volume in the series Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing (LNBIP) and indexed as usual.

The TENTATIVE DEADLINE for workshop paper submission is 25 MAY, 2018. 


Please find here a description of the accepted workshops and the Education Symposium:


- 1ST INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON EMERGING COMPUTING PARADIGMS AND CONTEXT IN BUSINESS PROCESS MANAGEMENT (CCBPM2018, http://itseg.org/ccbpm2018/) 

The goal of CCBPM2018 is to promote the role of emerging computing paradigms such as Mobile-Cloud Computing, Edge/Fog Computing, and Context in Business Process Management (BPM) by discussing what opportunities and challenges the emerging computing paradigms and context-aware technologies can bring to BPM, and what are the novel use cases and state-of-the-art solutions.


- 2ND INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON BUSINESS PROCESSES MEET THE INTERNET-OF-THINGS (BP-MEET-IOT, http://www.pros.upv.es/sites/bp-meet-iot2018/) 

The second international Workshop on BP-Meet-IoT seeks to attract novel research at the intersection of the BPM and IoT areas by bringing together practitioners and researchers from both communities that are interested in making IoT-based business processes a reality. BP-Meet-IoT will discuss the current state of ongoing research, industry needs, future trends, and practical experiences. 


- 14TH INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON BUSINESS PROCESS INTELLIGENCE (BPI-18,  https://www.win.tue.nl/bpi/) 

This year's BPI Workshop is a two day event focusing particularly on process mining in the context of big data. The workshop has a long tradition at the BPM conference and will, as before, be featuring: the presentation of interesting research papers in the BPI domain; the BPI Challenge 2018, with data provided by the German company Data Experts; the IEEE Task Force meeting; and the Process Mining Reception. 


- 1ST DECLARATIVE/DECISION/HYBRID MINING AND MODELLING FOR BUSINESS PROCESSES (DEHMIMOP 2018,  https://ai.wu.ac.at/dehmimop2018/) 

In Business Process Management (BPM) and its life-cycle phases - identification, discovery, analysis, redesign, implementation and monitoring - most processes and business process models involve rules and decisions that describe the premises and possible outcomes of specific situations. To that extent, declarative approaches such as Declare or DCR Graphs have been proposed to model control-flows, languages such as DMN have been introduced to model decisions, and hybrid approaches have been devised to combine them with existing imperative languages such as BPMN. This workshop aims at providing a platform for the discussion, introduction, and integration of ideas related to the decision- and rule- perspectives on process modelling and mining. The objectives are to extend the reach of the BPM audience towards the decisions and rules community, and increase the integration between imperative, declarative and hybrid modelling perspectives. 


- 11TH WORKSHOP ON SOCIAL AND HUMAN ASPECTS OF BUSINESS PROCESS MANAGEMENT (BPMS2-18, https://www.bpms2.org/) 

BPMS 2018 explores how social software interacts with business process management, how business process management has to change to comply with weak ties, social production, egalitarianism and mutual service, and how business processes may profit from these principles. Furthermore, the workshop investigates human aspects of Business Process Management such as new user interfaces e.g. augmented reality and voice bots. 


- 1ST INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON PROCESS-ORIENTED DATA SCIENCE FOR HEALTHCARE (PODS4H18, http://pods4h.com/) 

PODS4H18 aims at providing a high-quality forum for interdisciplinary researchers and practitioners (both data/process analysts and medical audience) to exchange research findings and ideas on healthcare process analysis techniques and practices. PODS4H research includes a wide range of topics from process mining techniques adapted for healthcare processes, to practical issues on implementing PODS methodologies in healthcare centers' analysis units. 


- 3RD INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON PROCESS QUERYING (PQ 2018, http://processquerying.com/pq2018/) 

PQ 2018 aims to provide a high-quality forum for researchers and practitioners to exchange research findings and ideas on technologies and practices in the area of process querying. Process querying studies automated methods for the inquiry, manipulation, and update of models and data of observed and envisioned processes, as well as relationships thereof, with the ultimate goal of converting process-related information into decision making capabilities. 


- 5TH INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON INTERRELATIONS BETWEEN REQUIREMENTS ENGINEERING AND BUSINESS PROCESS MANAGEMENT (REBPM-18, https://www.rebpm.org/events/bpm2018/) 

RE and BPM are strongly interrelated while methods and processes differ. Agile principles are used in software engineering for a long time but recently started to be utilized in the BPM field. Flexibility in processes also has rising importance. The focus of our workshop is on the interrelations between RE and BPM domains with a focus on agile and flexible BPM. 


- 2ND INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON QUALITY DATA FOR PROCESS ANALYSIS (QD-PA, http://qdpa2018.rf.gd/) 

Despite the fact that organizations collect a plethora of process data, poor data quality still poses significant hurdles to successfully translating process data into actionable business insights. The 2nd International Workshop on Quality Data for Process Analytics (QD-PA 2018) aims to provide a high quality forum for researchers and practitioners to exchange research findings and ideas on technologies and practices to achieve high-quality data for business process analysis. 


- 1ST INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON MULTI-LEVEL BUSINESS PROCESS MANAGEMENT (MLPM 2018, https://www.wi-inf.uni-duisburg-essen.de/MLPM2018/) 

MLPM 2018 focuses on advanced approaches to meta-modelling of processes. It aims at investigating the management of a hierarchy of knowledge about business processes, applying multi-level modelling techniques on business processes, and addressing challenges in that context. 


- 1ST INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE FOR BUSINESS PROCESS MANAGEMENT (AI4BPM, https://ai4bpm.inf.unibz.it) 

The goal of AI4BPM is to establish a forum for researchers and professionals interested in understanding, envisioning and discussing the challenges and opportunities of moving from current, largely programmatic approaches for BPM, to emerging forms of AI-enabled BPM. This workshop represents the union of two workshops held at BPM 2017, namely Business Process Innovation with Artificial Intelligence (BPAI) and Cognitive Business Process Management (CBPM). 


- BPM EDUCATION SYMPOSIUM 2018 (http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~hpaik/bpmedu2018/)

This special track invites papers that examine effective education and training methods for developing the BPM professional. The intent is to share and develop relevant knowledge and to promote fresh ideas for the integration of the broad spectrum of BPM dimensions into training and education courses and/or programs.
