[AISWorld] Second CFP - ACM 2012 (2,5 weeks left to deadline)

[Ilia Bider]

Workshop on Adaptive Case Management and other non-workflow approaches 
to BPM (ACM 2012) http://acm2012.blogs.dsv.su.se/

Attached to BPM 2012 conference in Tallinn: http://bpm2012.ut.ee/

Important dates
----------------------
Submission deadline: 1 June 2012
Notification due 2 July 2012
Camera-ready submission deadline: 30 July 2012
Workshop: 3 September 2012

Goals
--------
While practitioners are trying to overcome the restrictions of workflow 
thinking, the research on the topic is somewhat lagging. The goal of 
this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners to 
discuss theoretical and practical problems and solutions in the area of 
non-workflow based approaches to BPM in general, and ACM (as a leading 
movement) in particular. This workshop is aimed to promote new, 
non-traditional ways of modelling and controlling business processes, 
the ones that suit better the dynamic environment in which contemporary 
enterprises and public organizations function.

Topics
--------
We strongly encourage the submissions reporting a synergy of innovative 
research and best practices in the area of ACM and other non-workflow 
approaches to BPM, including human-centric BPM, data-centric BPM, 
knowledge-driven BPM, etc. Topics of interest include but are not 
limited to:

- Analysis of situations where workflow-based systems do not fit; 
reports on real-life cases where it has been revealed
- Theoretical views on business processes not based on the workflow that 
can serve as a scientific basis for ACM
- Non-workflow based process modeling languages, and methodologies that 
can be used in connection to development of ACM systems
- Comparative analysis of ACM vs Workflow-based systems and practices
- Usage of ACM in practice: Case studies and Experience reports
- Critical analysis of ACM state of the art (tools and practices) that 
reveals challenges to overcome
- Comparative analysis of tools and applications that support ACM
- Level of automation achievable in ACM that does not convert ACM into 
workflow

Submissions
-----------------
We invite submissions in the following categories:

- Position papers raising relevant questions in the workshop area, 
identifying problems and providing a glimpse of solution for a given 
problem. Representing a basis for discussion, a position paper does not 
necessarily need to include solutions to its stated problems. Position 
papers must not exceed 4 pages.

- Idea papers exploring the history, successes, and challenges for 
various non-workflow approaches to BPM and outlining research roadmaps 
for the future. Contrary to short position papers, idea papers should 
provide the in-depth analysis of a problem, review its existing 
solutions, demonstrate insufficiency of these solutions and suggest new 
(yet unevaluated but well argued) solutions. Idea papers must not exceed 
12 pages.

- Experience reports presenting challenges encountered in practice, 
their related case studies, success and failure stories. An experience 
report should clearly describe the working context, and focus on the 
problem and on the lessons learned. Experience reports should be 
complete and allow for rigorous testing of research theories methods and 
tools. Experience reports must be limited to 5-12 pages.

- Research papers reporting original results in the area addressed by 
the workshop. A research paper should clearly describe the problem 
tackled, explore the relevant state of the art, describe the proposed 
solution and provide a preliminary validation of this solution. Research 
papers must not exceed 12 pages.

Papers have to present original research/practical contributions not 
concurrently submitted elsewhere. All papers should be submitted in the 
new LNBIP format (see http://www.springer.com/series/7911 for details). 
The selection will consider relevance to the main topics as well as 
potential to generate relevant discussions. To submit your paper, 
please, follow the reference to the easychair submission system:
