Call for Book Chapters: Advances in Intelligent Process-Aware Information
Systems, Springer

Introduction:
In a global marketplace, there is an ever-growing need by enterprises 
and other
organizations to cope with increasingly dynamic situations. While business
process management systems and process-aware information systems have 
provided
productivity, efficiency, and quality benefits, current process support 
is often
too rigid, while exceptions and adaptations can only be handled in a 
limited way
or require significant human intervention.
Business process management systems and process-aware information 
systems will
increasingly be used and applied to sophisticated applications (e.g.,
healthcare, engineering, intelligent manufacturing) requiring a much more
intelligent process support and management compared to existing 
technologies.
Challenges remain for supporting the modeling, execution, diagnosis, and
evolution of intelligent processes. These challenges include integrating and
supporting process-aware information systems with appropriate intelligent
support to better cope with today's highly dynamic environments and emerging
concepts of tomorrow's world. To address these challenges, intelligent 
process
support necessitates innovative interdisciplinary approaches.

Objective of the Book:
The book will highlight novel advances and developments on various 
aspects of
intelligent business process management systems and process-aware 
information
systems in a well structured and accessible way.

Chapter topics:  Chapter proposals are invited that are related to the 
theory,
practice, modeling, techniques, and methods as well as their application 
across
domains. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
  + Business process intelligence
  + Enterprise process intelligence
  + Smart processes
  + Intelligent processes
  + Intelligent process-aware systems
  + Intelligent process decision making
  + Contextual awareness in intelligent processes
  + Human-centric intelligent process support
  + Lifecycle support for intelligent processes
  + Case-based reasoning for intelligent processes
  + Process-aware recommender systems
  + Cognitive process-aware systems
  + Semantic processes
  + Human-centric intelligent process-aware systems
  + Data-centric intelligent process-aware systems
  + Smart embedded process-aware systems
  + Intelligent industrial automation processes
  + Intelligent mobile processes
  + Business analytics and processes
  + Real-time enterprise and intelligence
  + Self-organizing and adaptive process-aware systems
  + Visualization for intelligent processes
  + Process mining

Target Audience:
The target audience of this book will be composed of researchers and
professionals working in the field of information, process, and knowledge
management in various disciplines, e.g., government departments, 
information and
communication sciences, e-Government practitioners and designers, university
departments, computer science, and information technology. Moreover, the 
book
will provide insights and support to executives concerned with the 
management of
expertise, knowledge, processes, information, and organizational 
development in
different types of business communities and environments.
