TRACK DESCRIPTION
Business Process Management (BPM) has emerged as an important field in information systems research. It roots in concepts such as workflow management, business process reengineering, and total quality management. BPM to date characterizes an integrated management approach. As such, BPM seeks to develop a wide range of organizational capabilities facilitating excellence and innovation in business including: IT, Methods, Strategic Alignment, Governance, People and Culture.

In an advancing information society, effective and efficient business processes not only contribute to business prosperity, but also form the basis for the provision of diverse services of our private and social life like it is discussed in research on e-Services. Here, the management of processes across organizational, sectoral, and national boundaries plays an essential role. While former information systems used to be designed according to requirements of specific sectors and business domains (such as production planning and control, retail, banking, or administration) in the e-Service area, new information systems may be designed overcoming such boundaries. Such information systems may for example integrate all services relevant for a customer on one platform like banking services, educational services, health services, social services, and governmental services just to name a few relevant for a typical private household. However, major challenges arise from integrating such services in the most efficient and effective way.

The aim of the e-Services and BPM track is to provide a forum for thought leaders in this area seeking to assist in further leveraging the use of e-Services in our modern economy and society. We believe that BPM can largely contribute to these challenges and, thus, invite contributions on the intersection between e-Services and BPM. We welcome rigorous and relevant contributions from a wide variety of research methods. Submissions will be reviewed by at least three members of the international program committee, and best papers will be recommended for fast track to prestigious BPM-related journals.
