The 9th Workshop on Social and Human Aspects of Business Process 
Management (BPMS2'16)

September 19, 2016 Rio de Janeiro, Brasilia

*Call for Papers*

*Deadline for workshop paper submissions*: June 6th, 2016

*Workshop Theme*

The involvement of human aspects into Business Process Management takes 
place both on a social and individual level. Social software (*) is a 
new paradigm that is spreading quickly in society, organizations and 
economics. Enterprises use social software to improve their business 
processes and create new business models. Social software is used both 
in internal and external business processes. Using social software, the 
communication with the customer is increasingly bi-directional. E.g. 
companies integrate customers into product development to capture ideas 
for new products and features. Social software also creates new 
possibilities to enhance internal business processes by improving the 
exchange of knowledge and information, to speed up decisions, etc.

In parallel to the fact that more and more enterprises are using 
business process management also the individual is involved in a 
multitude of business processes. This creates a number of new 
challenges. Individuals have to cope with multiple process contexts and 
thus have to administer data appropriately. Furthermore, individuals 
have to integrate the external business processes into their own work 
environment or even to couple several external business processes. Human 
aspects of business process management relate to the individual who 
creates a process model, to the communication among people, during and 
after the process execution, and to the social process of collaborative 
modeling. Human aspects also relate to the interaction / collaboration / 
coordination / cooperation that should be implemented in the business 
process or to specific human-related aspects of the business process 
itself and their representations in models.

Up to now, the interaction of social and human aspects with business 
processes has not been investigated in depth. Therefore, the objective 
of the workshop is to explore how social software interacts with 
business process management, how business process management has to 
change to comply with weak ties, social production, egalitarianism and 
mutual service, and how business processes may profit from these principles.

(*) Rainer Schmidt and Selmin Nurcan, BPM and Social Software, in 
Business Process Management Workshops, ed. Danilo Ardagna et al., vol. 
17, Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing (Springer Berlin 
Heidelberg, 2009), 649-658, accessed April 30, 2012, 
http://www.springerlink.com/content/tp147481w314ujq4/abstract/.

The workshop will discuss three topics. Social Business Process 
Management, Social Business and Human Aspects of Business Process 
Management. Social Business Process Management is the use of social 
software to support one or multiple phases of the business process life 
cycle.

*1.    Social Business Process Management (SBPM)*

    -     Which phases of the BPM lifecycle (Design, Deployment,
    Operation, and Evaluation) can profit the most by social software?
    -     Do we need new BPM methods and/or paradigms to cope with
    social software?
    -     Is there an influence of weak ties, social production,
    egalitarianism and mutual service provisioning on BPM methods
    themselves?
    -     How are trust and reputation established in business processes
    using social software?
    -     How do weak ties, social production, egalitarianism and mutual
    service provisioning influence the design of business processes?
    -     How does social software interact with WFMS or other business
    process support systems?
    -     What is the impact on conceptual models for those categories
    of business processes which are not well-defined?

*2.    Social Business: Social software supporting business processes*

    -     Which new possibilities for the support of business processes
    are created by social software?
    -     Are there business processes which require sociality,
    especially when they are not predictable (as production workflows)
    but collaborative or ad hoc?
    -     How can we use Wikis, Blogs etc. to support business processes?
    -     Which types of social software can be used in which phases of
    the BPM lifecycle?
    -     What new kinds of business knowledge representation are
    offered by social production?

*3.    Human Aspects of Business Process Management*

    -     What requirements are created for individuals by participating
    in a multitude of business processes?
    -     Which concepts and technologies exist to support the
    individual in coping with different external business processes
    -     Which further human aspects of business process management exist?
    -     Human-centric business processes
    -     Human resource management in business processes

*Goal*

Based on the eight previous successful BPMS2'2008 to BPMS2'2015 
workshops, the goal of the BPMS2'2016 workshop is to promote the 
integration of business process management with social software and to 
enlarge the community pursuing the theme.

*Workshop paper format*

Position papers of up to 2500 words are sought. Position papers that 
raise relevant questions, or describe successful or unsuccessful 
practice, or describe experience will all be welcome. Position papers 
will be assigned a 20-minute presentation. Short papers of up to 1000 
words can also be submitted, and will be assigned a 10-minute presentation.

*Submission*

Prospective authors are invited to submit papers for presentation in any 
of the areas listed above. Only papers in English will be accepted. The 
length of full papers must not exceed 12 pages (There is no possibility 
to buy additional pages). Position papers and tool reports should be no

have to present original research contributions not concurrently 
submitted elsewhere. The title page must contain a short abstract, a 
classification of the topics covered, preferably using the list of 
topics above, and an indication of the submission category (regular 
paper/position paper/tool report).

Please use Easychair for submitting your paper: 
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bpms216

The paper selection will be based on the relevance of a paper to the 
main topics, as well as upon its quality and potential to generate 
relevant discussion. All the workshop papers will be published by 
Springer as a post-proceeding volume (to be sent around 4 months after 
the workshop) in their Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing 
(LNBIP) series.

*Important Dates*

June 6th :     Deadline for workshop paper submissions
July 4th   :    Notification of Acceptance
July 18th :    Camera-ready papers deadline
September 19th :  Workshop

*Activities*

All papers will be published on workshop wiki (www.bpms2.org) before the 
workshop so that everybody can learn about the problems that are 
important for other participants. A blog will be used to encourage and 
support discussions. The workshop will consist of long and short paper 
presentations, brainstorming sessions and discussions. The workshop 
report will be created collaboratively using a wiki. A special issue 
over all workshops will be published in a journal (decision in progress).
