==========================================================

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 Adaptive Case 
Management (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 promote and facilitate collaboration 
and creativity in the frame of business processes.

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 state-oriented BPM, human-centric BPM, 
data-centric BPM, artifact-centric BPM, knowledge-driven BPM, etc. 
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

- What are essential characteristics and application area for Adaptive 
Case Management. What “adaptive” stays for? In what ways Adaptive Case 
Management differs from Case Management and other techniques used for 
running business processes.

- 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, and other non-workflow software 
systems/services that help process participants to run their processes

- 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 and other non-workflow techniques 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
