--- co-located with ----------------------------------------------------
   13th International Conference on Business Process Management (BPM'15)
   Aug 31 - Sep 3, Innsbruck, Austria // http://bpm2015.q-e.at/

=== about the workshop =================================================

Traditionally the management of business operations caters around two
key issues: control flow and data. As a result, each of the two has
attracted over the past years people both in academia and industry,
manifesting itself into a plethora of methods and tools that have been
designed to assist with its management. Yet, the natural and largely
independent evolution in both areas has led to a reality in which in
many cases, the handling of one concern is treated as an afterthought
with respect to the other.

Recently, we see the emergence of new paradigms that are aimed to blend
control flow and data, seeking for new approaches that can naturally and
seamlessly unify the two in order to better streamline the overall
complexity in BPM. Contemporary examples include Artifact-Centric BPM,
Petri-nets, and Case Management. The goal of the DAB workshop series is
to bring together researchers and practitioners whose common interest
and experience is in the study and development of new foundations,
models, methods, and technologies that are intended to uniformly and
holistically align data and control flow.


We invite researchers from the BPM field as well as from related fields
to submit papers that investigate the tight interplay between data and
control flow. We aim at discussing the current state of ongoing
research, as well as industry needs and sharing practical experiences.

=== topics =============================================================

We solicit papers that investigate the tight interplay between data and
control flow in business processes, for example on the following topics:

- Integrated data and process modeling
- Declarative and constraint-based process modeling
- Artifact-centric (a.k.a. Business-Entity or BEL) modeling
- Adaptive and/or dynamic case management
- Data-centric flexible process management
- Data-centric collaborative business processes
- Data-aware conformance and compliance
- Integrated data and processes management on the Cloud
- Composition and discovery techniques of data-centric processes
- Process mining/data mining for Data-/artifact-centric processes
- Analysis and verification of data-/artifact-centric processes
- Data-centric process monitoring, QoS, SLA
- Integration and interoperability of data-/artifact-centric BPM
- Foundations to the integration of data and process in systems analysis
- Data-/artifact-centric BPM for the Internet-of-Things
- Data-/artifact-centric BPM for mobile processes
- Integration of data-/artifact-centric BPM with Big Data analytics
- Data-/artifact centric BPM methods and methodologies
- Empirical studies of Data-/artifact-centric BPM


=== submission and proceedings =========================================

Prospective authors are invited to submit papers in any of the areas of
interest to the DAB workshop series. Only papers in English will be
accepted. The length of the paper must not exceed 12 pages. All papers
must be formatted in LNBIP format.

Papers should be submitted electronically via the EasyChair submission
system.
Link for submission: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bpmws15,
choose track DAB'15.

All workshop papers will be published by Springer as a post-workshop
proceedings volume in the series Lecture Notes in Business Information
Processing (LNBIP). The proceedings will be made available to all
registered participants approximately four months after the workshops,
while preliminary proceedings will be distributed during the workshop.
