[AISWorld] BPMDS'2015 - deadline extension (in conjunction with CAISE)

Mon Feb 16 07:13:29 EST 2015

  Dear Colleagues,

Due to many requests, the submission deadline of BPMDS'2015 for full  
papers has been extended to February 22th.

Abstract submission is required for February 18th.

BPMDS is a two-day working conference attached to CAiSE (Conference on  
Advanced Information Systems Engineering).

  The topics addressed by the BPMDS series are focused on business  
processes and their IT support. One of the major aims is to discuss  
and to learn about concepts and techniques to enhance the ability to  
engineer software systems closer the business requirements.

The conference proceedings will be published in a Springer LNBIP  
volume (joint with EMMSAD), "Enterprise, Business-Process and  
Information Systems Modeling”, as the six last years (LNBIP 29,  
LNBIP 50, LNBIP 81, LNBIP 113, LNBIP 147, LNBIP 175).

As usually, after the BPMDS’2015 conference, extended versions  
of the selected papers will be considered for publishing in a special  
issue of an international journal.

The references of the Springer LNBIP volumes and of the previous  
special issues are provided in the call for papers below.

The papers should be submitted through the conference management  
system available at

https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bpmds2015

Best regards,
Selmin Nurcan

SPONSORS:
--------
- Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering (CAiSE).  
BPMDS Working Conference is officially linked on an ongoing basis to  
the CAiSE conference series).
- International Federation for Information Processing Working Group  
8.1 (IFIP WG 8.1).

ABOUT THE BPMDS CONFERENCE:
--------------------------
The topics addressed by the BPMDS series are focused on business  
processes and their IT support. This is one of the keystones of  
information systems theory beyond short-lived fashions. The continued  
interest in this topic on behalf of the IS community is reflected by  
the success of the past BPMDS events, and their promotion from a  
workshop to a working conference.

The BPMDS series has produced fifteen events from 1998 to 2014. From  
2011, BPMDS has become a two-day working conference attached to CAiSE  
(Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering). The basic  
principles of the BPMDS series:

1. BPMDS serves as a meeting place for researchers and practitioners  
in the areas of business development, and business applications  
(software) development
2. The aim of the event is mainly discussions, rather than presentations.
3. Each event has a theme that is mandatory for idea papers.
4. Each event's results are, usually, published in a special issue of  
an international journal.

The goals, format, and history of BPMDS can be found on the web site:  
http://www.bpmds.org/history

BACKGROUND AND AIMS:
-------------------

BPMDS solicits papers related to Business Process Modeling,  
Development and Support (BPMDS) in general, using quality as a main  
selection criterion. As a working conference, we would like to attract  
papers describing mature research, but we still give place to  
industrial reports and visionary idea papers. 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.

Papers submitted as idea papers will be required to be of relevance to  
the focus theme, thus providing a mass of new ideas around a  
relatively narrow but emerging research area.

Full research papers and experience reports are not required to be  
directly connected to this theme (they still need to be explicitly  
relevant to BPMDS though).

The focus theme for BPMDS'15 idea papers is

Enabling value creation via business process modeling, development and support

More than two decades after Hammer and Champy made the explicit link  
between business processes and value, this relationship is still  
unclear.

For the 16th edition of the BPMDS conference, we invite the interested  
authors to engage, through their idea papers and the discussions  
during the two days of BPMDS’2015 in Stockholm, in a deep  
discussion with all participants about what is value, how it is  
provided and how it is captured through business process modeling,  
development and support.

We also welcome research papers that include ideas on how theoretical  
results discussed can be used in practice, as well as experience  
reports on using theories in practice.

TOPICS FOR DISCUSSION:
----------------------
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

Value Creation and BPMDS
- Do projects of business process modeling or development help to  
create value directly or indirectly?
- How can value created by BPMDS be assessed and captured?
- Does a BPS (business process support) system always lead to value  
creation/capturing (directly or indirectly)?
- What are the relationships between various types of BPS systems (SoS  
vs WFMS for instance) and types of value they help to create?
- Does social software facilitate the creation of a different kind of  
value than a traditional workflow system?
- What are the barriers to value creation or/and capture from  
BP-related projects?
- Are there specific conditions for value creation from BP-related projects?
- Cases where BP-related projects created value
- Cases where BP-projects created no values
- Interactions between Value Creation and BPMDS
- Impact of Value Creation / Co-Creation on Business Process  
Life-Cycle: Design, Deployment, Operation and Evaluation.
- Representing requirements of Value Creation
- Value management in business processes
- User integration for value co-creation

SUBMISSIONS:
-----------
Prospective conference participants are invited to submit a paper that  
concerns business process modeling and development, and/or business  
process support (development of software dedicated to business  
processes). We solicit the papers (both research papers and experience  
reports) that contain results worth of discussion. For full research  
papers, it means that reported research should be in an advance stage  
and a paper includes results and at least partial evaluation.

Thus three kinds of submissions are possible:

(1) Full research papers.

(2) Experience reports, which should follow guidelines in  
http://www.bpmds.org/guidelines.

(3) Idea papers related to the focus theme, devoted to completely new  
research positions or approaches, in order to face to a generic  
situation that arises because of, for instance, new methods and tools  
or new types of emerging challenges; the compliance to the focus theme  
is mandatory for idea papers, which should describe precisely the  
situation and demonstrate the shortcomings of current methods, tools,  
ways of reasoning, meta-models, etc.

Papers of all submission types should be of up to 15 pages. Please  
follow the LNCS format instructions at  
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html for all of them.

Papers should be submitted in Adobe PDF format. The results described  
must be unpublished and must not be under review elsewhere. The papers  
should be submitted through the conference management system available  
at https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bpmds2015 .

PUBLICATIONS:
------------
The conference proceedings will be published in a Springer LNBIP  
volume (joint with EMMSAD), "Enterprise, Business-Process and  
Information Systems Modeling”, as the five previous years (LNBIP  
29, LNBIP 50, LNBIP 81, LNBIP 113, LNBIP 147 LNBIP 175). Contributing  
authors may find all relevant information at  
http://www.springer.com/series/7911 .

papers will be considered for publishing in a special issue of an  
international journal.
