Submission deadline: February 22nd, 2016

Full info, see the conference website http://www.bpmds.org/
A shorter summary, see below:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BPMDS'16 solicits papers related to Business Process Modeling, 
Development, and Support (BPMDS) using relevance, originality, quality 
and applicability in practice as the main selection criteria. As a 
working conference, BPMDS'16 seeks to attract full research papers 
describing mature research, as well as experience reports related to 
using BPMDS in practice 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 are 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).

The focus theme for BPMDS'16 idea papers is:
*Business Processes in a Connected World*
In which we differentiate three sub-themes:

 1. Business processes for connecting people
 2. Connecting intelligent objects to business processes
 3. Connecting information/data/knowledge to business processes

*Proceedings*
will be published by Springer, an LNBIP volume (joint with EMMSAD). The 
best papers will be invited for publication of the extended versions in 
a scientific journal.

*Topics of interest* include but are not limited to the list below. Note 
that the first three sub-theme are related to the focus theme. The rest 
are standard themes for BPMDS.

*Business process for connecting people*

systems that connect people
