***Deadline is Extended to Oct. 15***

Pre-ICIS AIS SIGBPS Workshop on Business Processes and Services, December 14, 2014, Auckland, New Zealand
AIS-SIGBPS Website: http://www.sigbps.org
Workshop Website: http://www.sigbps.org/bps14
(in conjunction with International Conference on Information Systems)

The purpose of this workshop is to provide a forum to discuss new research directions in the area of business process management and business service automation. A critical goal of the workshop is to cultivate high quality research concerning Internet-enabled business processes and services, which include new technological advances such as cloud computing, mobile commerce, service virtualization, and big data analytics.
This workshop aims to extend the boundaries of research in business process management by integrating new elements that have not been sufficiently emphasized in the past. The recent rapid advances in information systems have created both challenges and opportunities to develop new business services via innovative business processes. Another important area of interest of this workshop is to promote theoretical efforts in business processes. The business process modeling and automation research has been largely driven by the need to solve practical problems. There has been a lack of strong theories in this area and we believe that it is essential to develop new theories about business process and service automation.
Given the nature and purposes of this workshop, we invite papers of no more than five pages that are well articulated and formatted in single line spacing, Times New Roman, 12 pt, 1 inch margins. We particularly seek position papers but also welcome conceptual papers with a strong theoretical flavor, as well as completed research papers or research-in-progress papers.

Suggested research topics include, but not limited to, the following ones:
Big data and process management
Cloud computing and process management
Collaborative processes in social media
Coordination and cooperation mechanisms for process management
Data mining for process technologies and management
Financial service applications
Frameworks and methodologies for collaboration processes
Healthcare and process management
Human resource management under distributed process technologies
Metrics and measurements in business processes and services
