CALL FOR PAPERS
===============

Business Process Intelligence is an area that spans process mining (i.e., process discovery, conformance checking, etc.), predictive analytics and many other techniques that are all gaining interest and importance in industry and research. BPI refers to the application of various measurement and analysis techniques in the area of business process management. In practice, BPI is embodied in tools for managing process execution quality by offering several features such as analysis, prediction, monitoring, control, and optimization.

The goal of this workshop is to provide a better understanding and a more appropriate support of company processes at design time and the way they are handled at runtime, focussing on processes in isolation as well as the interplay between many parallel processes both within and between companies.

We aim to bring together practitioners and researchers from different communities such as business process management, information systems research, business administration, software engineering, artificial intelligence, process mining, and data mining who share an interest in the analysis of business processes and process-aware information systems. The workshop aims at discussing the current state of ongoing research and sharing practical experiences.

The workshop is sponsored by Siav, one of the main italian IT companies which develops and delivers solutions for the Enterprise Content Management market, with software products for Enterprise File Sync & Share (BlueDrive), Document and Workflow Management (Archiflow), Long Term Retention and Preservation (Virgilio).

The list of topics that are relevant to the BPI workshop includes the following, but is not limited to:

Analysis Techniques at design time and/or runtime:
- Mining of business processes from event logs
- Mining of non process aware systems / event streams
- Multi perspective process mining
- Statistical analysis in the business process management lifecycle
- Predictive analytics
- Recommender systems
- Conformance / compliance analysis
- Root cause analysis for process deviations
- Business process visualization
- Visualization of process mining results
- Machine-learning and business processes
- Measurement of business process models and business process modeling
- Information retrieval related to business process management
- Similarity related to processes and cases
- Integration of processes and process models
- Mathematical optimization of business processes
- Simulation of business processes

Applications of such analysis techniques and case studies in:

- Performance Measurement of business processes
- Business Process Reengineering
- Business Process Quality
- Emergent workflows
- Process discovery
- Conformance and risk management for business processes
- Operations Management and Six Sigma
- Data warehousing
- Static and dynamic optimization
- Self-management
- Monitoring of business processes
- Resource Allocation in business processes
- Prediction
- Dynamic composition of business processes


Submitted papers will be evaluated on the basis of significance, originality and technical quality. Papers should clearly establish the research contribution and the relation to previous research. In parallel with the workshop, there is a BPI challenge, sponsored by Minit and Celonis, which provides an opportunity to analyze a real-world event log and to win the flight to Barcelona!
