BPMDS 2012

International Conference on Business Process Modeling, Development, and =

Support (BPMDS'2012)

the 13th edition of the BPMDS series

held in Conjunction with CAiSE=9212


25-26 June 2012, Gdansk, Poland

Papers submission deadline: February 26th, 2012
http://bpmds.org/



SPONSORS:
--------
- Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering (CAiSE). BPMDS =

is officially linked on an ongoing basis to the CAiSE conference series =

(http://www.caise2012.univ.gda.pl/).
- International Federation for Information Processing Working Group 8.1 =

(IFIP WG 8.1) (https://research.idi.ntnu.no/ifip-wg81/). Sponsor since 2009.


ABOUT THE BPMDS CONFERENCE:
--------------------------
The topics addressed by the BPMDS series are focused on IT support for =

business processes. This is one of the keystones of Information Systems =

theory. We strongly believe that any major conference in the area of =

Information Systems needs to address such topics independently of the =

current fashion. The continued interest in these topics on behalf of the =

IS community is reflected by the success of the last BPMDS workshops and =

the recent emergence of new conferences devoted to the theme.

The BPMDS series has produced twelve workshops from 1998 to 2011. From =

2011, BPMDS became a two-day working conference attached to CAiSE =

(Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering).

While changing the status of BPMDS, we preserved the basic principles of =

the BPMDS series:
1. BPMDS serves as a meeting place for researchers and practitioners in =

the areas of business development, and business applications (software) =

development
2. The aim of the event is mainly discussions, rather than presentations.
3. Each event has a theme that is, from now, mandatory for visionary papers.
4. Each event's results are, usually, published in a special issue of an =

international journal.
The goals, format, and history of BPMDS can be found on the web site: =

http://www.ibissoft.se/bpmds.html


BACKGROUND AND AIMS:
-------------------
As a working conference, we would like to attract more papers describing =

mature research, still giving place to industrial reports and visionary =

papers. In addition, we will have a theme whose relevance will be the =

main criterion for the selection of visionary papers only. We no longer =

require for full research papers and experience reports to be directly =

connected to this theme (they still need to be explicitly relevant to =

BPMDS though). We only suggest to the authors of research papers and =

experience reports, wherever possible, to make connection to the theme.

The theme chosen for BPMDS'12 visionary papers is:

"Business processes and Business Process Management in the Cloud"

We invite the visionaries (from research and industry) to exploit this =

theme in relation to BPMDS. We also welcome research papers that include =

ideas on how theoretical results discussed can be used in practice, as =

well as experience reports on using theories in practice.


TOPICS FOR DISCUSSION:
----------------------
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

- Theoretical foundations for analyzing, modeling, simulating or =

executing business processes
- Business process modeling languages, notations and methods
- Multi-perspectives on business process modeling: integration and coherence
- A broad view on strategy, business processes, people and IT: =

alignment, fit and coherence
- Dynamic configuration; modeling by reuse
- Granularity, development of reusable and context-aware components; =

modeling for reuse
- Domain specific reference models
- Business-IT alignment through business processes	=

- Resource management in business process modeling and support
- User-oriented aspects of the business process modeling and support
- Cross-organizational business processes
- Business process change management and governance issues
- Verification and validation of business process models
- Variability and adaptability of business process models
- Efficiency, adequacy, flexibility, agility, compliance, reliability, =

security in business process modeling and execution
- Metrics, maturity and continuous improvement
- Business process support architectures and platforms
- BPMDS based on a service-oriented architecture
- BPMDS combined with social software and social networks
- Mobile technologies and context aware business process modeling


SUBMISSIONS:
-----------
Papers submission deadline: February 26th, 2012

Prospective conference participants are invited to submit a paper that =

concerns business process modeling and development, and business process =

support (development of software dedicated to business processes) and =

that may be related to one or more of the topics for discussion listed =

above. We solicit the papers (both research papers and experience =

reports) that contain results worth of discussion. For full research =

papers, it means that reported research should be in an advance stage =

and a paper includes results and at least partial evaluation.

Thus three kinds of submissions are possible:

(1) Full research papers.

(2) Experience reports, which should follow guidelines in =

http://processplatsen.ibissoft.se/node/72.

(3) Idea papers related to the focus theme, devoted to completely new =

research positions or approaches, in order to face to a generic =

situation that arises because of, for instance, new methods and tools or =

new types of emerging challenges; the compliance to the focus theme is =

mandatory for idea papers, which should describe precisely the situation =

and demonstrate the shortcomings of current methods, tools, ways of =

reasoning, meta-models, etc.

Papers of all submission types should be of up to 15 pages. Please =

follow the LNCS format instructions at =

http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html for all of them.

Papers should be submitted in Adobe PDF format. The results described =

must be unpublished and must not be under review elsewhere. The papers =

should be submitted through the conference management system available =

at https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=3Dbpmds2012

E-mail also your abstract as an attachment to =

mailto:selmin.nurcan@univ-paris1.fr


PUBLICATIONS:
------------
The conference proceedings will be published in a Springer LNBIP volume =

(joint with EMMSAD), "Enterprise, Business-Process and Information =

Systems Modeling=94, as the three previous years (LNBIP 29, LNBIP 50 and =

LNBIP 81).

After the BPMDS=9212 conference, extended versions of the accepted papers =

will be considered for publishing in a special issue of an international =

journal. The previous special issues are:
- BPMDS=9211 in IJISMD in progress
- BPMDS=9210 selected papers in REJ in progress
- BPMDS=9209 in IJISMD, vol. 2, issue 2, 2011
- BPMDS=9208 in JSME under press (Journal of Software Maintenance and =

Evolution: Research and Practice, incorporating SPIP since 2010)
- BPMDS'07 in IJBPIM, vol. 4, issue 2, 2009
- BPMDS'06 in IJBPIM, vol. 3, issue 1, 2008
