[AISWorld] FINAL CALL for Research and Education papers - 8th International Conference on Business Process Management (BPM2010)

[Marta Indulska]

8th International Conference on Business Process Management

Hoboken, New Jersey
September 14-16, 2010
http://www.bpm2010.org/

**Only 7 days remaining until Research/Education paper submission  
deadline**

Business Process Management (BPM) becomes increasingly important as  
companies want to increase insight, efficiency and effectiveness of  
their operations. BPM 2010 is the eighth conference in a series that  
provides the most distinguished forum for researchers and  
practitioners in all aspects of BPM including theory, frameworks,  
methods, techniques, architectures, systems, and empirical findings.  
It will be held from September 14-16, 2010, at the Stevens Institute  
of Technology in Hoboken, New Jersey, just minutes from downtown  
Manhattan. The conference has a record of attracting innovative  
research of highest quality, from a mix of disciplines including  
Computer Science, Management Information Science, Services Computing,  
Services Science, and Technology Management. The acceptance rate at  
the BPM conference has traditionally been around 15%. In addition to  
showcasing leading research, the conference provides a venue for the  
discussion of BPM education, the demonstration of innovative systems  
with BPM functionalities, and an exchange among BPM practitioners.

We invite contributions in the following three areas:

- Research Papers
- Education and Curriculum Papers
- Demonstrations and Prototypes

*Call for Research Papers (Deadline: 14 March 2010)

BPM 2010 continues with the broad-based themes of previous BPM  
conferences, and strives to strengthen and expand in several key  
directions. The conference especially encourages emerging research on  
new conceptual models for BPM understood broadly, models that attempt  
to unify core aspects of BPM, including process management, data  
management, business rules and requirements, and analytics, that until  
recently have been represented using rather disparate conceptual  
models. The conference also encourages the increasing interest in  
applying established and new techniques, such as model-driven  
architectures, Web services and Web architectures, SOA, and Cloud  
Computing , to the specific challenges of BPM. Finally, the conference  
seeks to attract papers that highlight the pervasive need for BPM  
capabilities across application areas outside of business management,  
including healthcare delivery, digital government, disaster  
management, and management of scientific and other academic endeavors,  
and that highlight how new techniques can solve the distinctive  
challenges arising in those diverse areas.

*Call for Education and Curriculum Papers (Deadline: 14 March 2010)

The new Education and Curriculum 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.  
General questions include the current state of BPM education in  
universities and/or professional education organizations, what courses  
and content of those courses are effective at developing BPM  
professionals, what methods of education/training deployment help BPM  
professionals understand the holistic nature of end-to-end process- 
centric organizations, and what types of skills and abilities are  
needed for BPM deployments and sustainment.

*Call for Demonstrations (Deadline: 17 May 2010)

The Demonstration track showcases innovative Business Process  
Management (BPM) tools and applications that may originate either from  
research initiatives or from industry. The Demonstration Track will  
provide an opportunity to present and discuss emerging technologies  
with researchers and practitioners in the BPM field. In addition,  
authors are invited to submit a paper describing their prototype for  
publication.
