*SoSyM Theme Issue:  The Human Perspective in Business Processes*


The BPMDS (Business Process Modeling, Development and Support) series in 
conjunction with CAiSE focuses on business processes and their IT 
support -one of the keystones of information systems theory- since 1998.

BPMDS solicits papers related to Business Process Modeling, Development 
and Support (BPMDS) in general. To encourage new and emerging challenges 
and research directions in the area of business process modeling, 
development and support, we have a unique focus theme every year for the 
idea papers. The focus theme for BPMDS'2014 idea papers was:

/            The human perspective in Business Processes/

The human perspective is of essence since humans direct business 
processes rather than computers. It plays a major role in all phases of 
BPMDS. The human perspective in business process modeling relates to the 
individual who creates a process model, to the communication among 
people that is facilitated by the business process model during and 
after the modeling process, and to the social process of collaborative 
modeling. The human perspective in business process design relates to 
the kind of interaction / collaboration / coordination / cooperation 
that should to be implemented in the business process or to specific 
human-related aspects of the business process itself and their 
representations in models. The human perspective in business process 
support relates to all social aspects of the business process and its 
management in an organization.

The Journal of Software and Systems Modeling (SoSyM)  
(http://www.sosym.org/) invites original, high-quality submissions for 
its theme issue on "The Human Perspective in Business Processes (BP)" 
focusing on topics related to BPMDS, including:

- /*Business Process Modeling*/: multi-perspectives on BP modeling, 
representations of humans in BP models, actor-driven (vs activity 
driven) representations of BPs, variability and adaptability of BP 
models, BP modeling enhanced by social software and social networks.
- */Business Process Support/*: BP change management and governance 
issues, BP support combined with social software and social networks, 
actor support vs control support in BPs, enhancing creativity in BPs, 
mobile technologies and context aware BPs.
- /*Requirements on Business Processes*/: flexibility, variability, 
adaptability, knowledge-intensive business processes, context aware 
business processes, cross-organizational business processes compliance, 
reliability, security, performance.
