Dear colleagues,
BPMDS is a two-day working conference in conjunction with 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 papers should be submitted through the conference management system
available at
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bpmds18
Kind regards,
Selmin Nurcan

- 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).
-----------------
IMPORTANT DATES:
-----------------
Paper abstracts (recommended): February 25th, 2018
Submission deadline: March 1st, 2018
Notification of acceptance: March 23th, 2018
Camera-ready papers due: April 5th, 2018
----------------------
BACKGROUND AND AIMS:
----------------------
BPMDS solicits papers related to Business Process Modeling, Development
and Support (BPMDS) using quality, relevance, originality and
applicability as main selection criteria. As a working conference,
BPMDS’18 seeks to attract full research papers describing mature
research, experience reports related to using BPMDS in practice, and
visionary idea papers. Practitioners are also encouraged to present
lessons learned from practice.
Papers submitted in the category idea papers will be required to be of
relevance to the focus theme. The focus theme for BPMDS'2018 idea papers is
Ecosystem-aware Business Process Modeling, Development and Support
Today, successful business process modeling, development and support
have to be aware of their ecosystem context. Business process modeling
has to capture as many external contributions as possible, to integrate
all stakeholders and to identify best practice knowledge. Coupling
business process modeling with social software helps to capture these
contributions. Business models such as multi-sided platforms are based
on processes spanning over multiple organizations. The design of
business processes integrates external resources as part of virtual
organizations and outsourcing relationships. Decisions in business
processes are based on advanced analytics and artificial intelligence
using a multitude of data sources that are increasingly coming from
outside of organizations. Also, the support of business processes is
using external resources increasingly. Technologies such as blockchains
externalize the business process support more and more.
-----------
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 resaerch papers, experience reports, and lessons
learned from practice that contain results worth of discussion. Full
research papers should report research in an advanced stage, including
results and at least partial evaluation. Thus four categories of
submissions are welcome:
(1) Full research papers (could be technical papers or empirical
evaluation papers).
(2) Experience reports should follow guidelines in
http://www.bpmds.org/guidelines.
(3) Idea papers related to the focus theme “Ecosystem-aware Business
Process Modeling, Development and Support”, should address completely
new research positions or approaches. They should describe precisely the
situation and demonstrate the shortcomings of current methods, tools,
ways of reasoning, meta-models, etc.``
(4) Lessons learned from practice. We welcome all practitioners to share
with BPMDS participants and followers their own experience in the topics
(see below) related to the BPMDS conference. This category of short
papers with up to 8 pages follow the guidelines suggested for the
category (2). Conformity with LNCS guidelines is not mandatory for this
category. The accepted propositions will be presented during the
BPMDS’18 industrial track and will be published on the BPMDS web site.
Papers of the first three 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. Please
submit through the conference management system available at
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bpmds18.
-----------------
SUBMISSION TOPICS :
-----------------
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
Ecosystem-aware BPMDS
- Which external factors influence the modeling of business processes
and how?
- How can the design of business processes take into account their ecoystem?
- Which ways of business process support are predetermined by the
context, e.g. blockchain ?
- How does the extended organizational context, e.g. virtual
organizations and teams, influence the modeling design and support of
business processes ? Examples are social influences, social software etc.
- How does the availability of a multitude of new data sources impact
business processes? Examples are Big Data, Analytics etc.
How is the heterogeneity of these data sources concerning reliability,
security etc. handled in business processes? Examples are open data,
social data etc.
- Which new event sources, decision mechanisms, and rules impact
business processes? Examples are IoT, dash buttons, voice bots etc.
- Which new ways to accomplish tasks in business processes are provided?
Examples are cloud-based infrastructures, microservices, etc.

processes? Examples are platforms, two-sided markets, blockchains etc.

ABOUT BPMDS:
------------
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 eighteen events from 1998 to 2017. 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 are:
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:

The conference proceedings will be published in a Springer LNBIP volume
(joint with EMMSAD), "Enterprise, Business-Process and Information
Systems Modeling”, as the nine previous years (LNBIP volumes 29, 50, 81,
