-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Important Dates:
Submissions until: May 25, 2018  June 11, 2018
Notification to authors: June 29, 2018
Camera ready version: July 13, 2018
Workshop: Sept 10, 2018

Scope:
While Requirements Engineering (RE) is concerned with eliciting and
managing requirements related to a particular
(software) system, Business Process Management (BPM) deals with modeling
and managing organizational processes
and business objectives. Information technology is an enabler of business
change, and business processes are often a
starting point of RE. Thus, both domains are strongly interrelated while
methods and processes differ.

Agile principles are widely used in Software Engineering (SE) for a long
time and became more important in BPM in the
last years. The terms agility as well as flexibility in this context are
highly intertwined, but often, different approaches are
required to deal with them. Agility can have varied interpretations in the
field of BPM. It can refer to the usage of agile
approaches for BPM deployment or business process management systems (BPMS)
that incorporate agile development
methodology in process automation. On the other hand, flexibility refers to
the adaptability, responsiveness, and context
dependency of processes. Agility and flexibility have rising importance in
BPM field. In conformance with our findings in
BPM’17 conference in Barcelona, in this workshop, we will focus on the
interrelations between RE and BPM domains
 with a focus on agile and flexible BPM.

We are calling for papers including but not restricted to the following
topics:

- BPM and RE with a focus on agile and flexible processes,
- RE in the BPM lifecycle,
- Process mining and requirements analysis in the context of BPM,
- System and data requirements modelling for BPM,
- Agile methods and techniques for BPM,
- Flexibility in business processes and reflections on BPM,
- Analysis of the current BPM practices in organizations with respect to
the above topics, such as case studies.

Submission:
Original submissions from research and practice in the following categories
are welcome:
- Full Papers, up to 12 pages
- Short Papers, up to 6 pages
- Experience Reports (case studies/ case descriptions), up to 6 pages
- Problem Statements, up to 6 pages

Papers should be formatted according to Springer’s LNCS guidelines
(http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html).
The submission address is:

Each submission will be peer-reviewed by at least two members of the program
committee. Based on the reviews and review scores, the organizing committee
will make a selection of papers to be accepted for publication. The workshop

proceedings are planned to be published in the Springer LNBIP series.
