17th International Conference on Business Process Management (BPM 2019) -
Call for Demonstrations

Vienna, Austria, September 1-6, 2019

The BPM 2019 Demo Track is intended to showcase innovative Business Process
Management (BPM) tools and applications that may originate either from
research initiatives or from industry. The Demonstration Track will provide
an opportunity to present and discuss emerging technologies with researchers
and practitioners in the BPM field. 

 

For the inclusion in the demonstration tracks, tools will be evaluated on
the basis of relevance to the BPM community as well as on novelty and
innovativeness. Previously demonstrated tools are also welcome if there is
clear evidence of the value added to the previous version of the tool, such
as new tool features and/or its adaptation and use for new practical
applications. The tools will also be evaluated on their maturity, complexity
and robustness, such as the list of features, supported use cases, number
and types of users. In order for reviewers to assess the maturity and
robustness, the tools need to be available for testing. If the tool requires
a license, this needs to be provided to the reviewers, at least limited to
the reviewing period. The procedure to obtain the license must not disclose
the identity of the reviewers.

 

The tool submission needs to be accompanied by a demo paper discussing the
relevance, novelty, innovativeness and maturity of the tool.

 

Demo papers must be no longer than 5 pages in PDF format and must adhere to
Springer’s LNCS submission formatting guidelines (for instructions and style
sheets see
https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-gui
delines). They should contain at least the following parts:

1. Title, authors and affiliations;

2. An abstract;

3. An introduction section, which, among others, should highlight the
significance of the tool to the BPM field;

4. A section discussing the innovations of the tool to the BPM community and
its main features;

5. A section describing the maturity of the tool. For this section, one
could provide a brief description of case studies performed using the tool,
provide scalability data or pointers indicating where readers can find more
information about these case studies;

6. A link to a video that screencasts and demonstrates the tool, preferably
including voice, which must not be longer than 4 minutes;

7. A separate tutorial document that focuses on one specific use case of the
tool which is presented in a step-by-step approach (e.g., mine a Petri net
from an event log, simulate a model, verify a set of business constraints,
etc.). Note: This separate document does not count for the 5 page limit.

8. A link to a Web page where to download or use the tool. If the tool
requires a license, a paper's appendix should describe how to obtain a
(temporary) license. The procedure to obtain the license must not disclose
the identity of the reviewers. The appendix will not be included in the
final version for the proceedings, if the demo is accepted. 

 

###SUBMISSION & REVIEW PROCESS###

Demo papers should be submitted through the BPM 2019 submission system
hosted by EasyChair at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bpm2019. The
submission system is shared with the main conference. Once logged in,
authors should select the Demonstration Track as option to submit.

 

All demo submissions will be reviewed by the demo reviewing committee. The
reviewing committee will also vote on the best demo to be granted the BPM
2019 Best Demo Award.

 

Accepted demo papers will be published as online CEUR proceedings. Also, it
is foreseen that each accepted paper gets its own Web page, which will
become part of the BPM 2019 Web page. For this, the authors of accepted
papers have to provide information about the demo in a pre-defined format. 

 

###PRESENTATION###

Each tool/application will be presented plenary using one or two-minute
teasers informing the audience about the available demos. The actual
demonstrations will then be held in a dedicated slot with all
tools/applications being shown in parallel. The dedicated slot will be
divided into blocks of 15 minutes. At the end of each block, the audience is
expected to move from one demo to another and the presenters will start over
a new demonstration session of their respective tools. Physical presence of
at least one presenter per demo is mandatory. Each demo will be provided
with a station in the demo venue.
