Call for Papers: 9th International Workshop on Business Process Intelligence (BPI 13)

To be held in conjunction with BPM 2013 (Beijing, China), August 26-30, 2013

Website: http://www.win.tue.nl/bpi2013 

CALL FOR PAPERS
===============
Business Process Intelligence (BPI) refers to the ability of monitoring, analyzing, and improving the run-time behavior of business processes. It is an area of much interest and importance both in industry and academia. In practice, BPI can be achieved through a set of tools that include process mining, activity monitoring, event processing, etc.

The purpose of this workshop is to promote a better understanding of the challenges associated with BPI, and to serve as a forum where practitioners and researchers can meet to discuss the state-of-the-art of this rapidly evolving field.

Submissions are welcome in relevant topics, such as:
- Mining and statistical analysis of business processes
- Reasoning and machine learning related to business process
- Metrics and measurement of business process models
- Retrieval and similarity of business processes and cases
- Simulation and optimization of business processes
- Performance and resource allocation in business processes
- Applications to process conformance and risk management
- Data warehousing and techniques for process analysis
- Tracking and monitoring of business processes
- Predictions for running processes and cases

Submitted papers will be evaluated on the basis of significance, originality and technical quality. Papers should clearly establish the research contribution and the relation to previous research.

In parallel with the workshop, there is a BPI challenge which provides an opportunity to analyze a real-world event log. For more information, please refer to the website (http://www.win.tue.nl/bpi2013).
