Transformative BPMDS

This year‘s topic theme “Transformative BPMDS” is investigating the 
transformative effects of emerging influential approaches and 
technologies in conjunction with Business Process Modeling, Design and 
Support:
  • Artificial Intelligence fosters the automation of business processes.
  • Decentralized architectures and trust mechanisms such as blockchains 
enable the extension of business processes to quickly integrate new 
process partners.
  • Voice assistants (e. g. Alexa, Siri) and augmented reality 
significantly increase the quality and the types of interactions with 
users in business processes.
  • Internet of Things integrates increasingly intelligent devices into 
business processes.
  • Social Information Systems support paradigms such as weak ties, 
social production, and egalitarian decisions.
  • Cloud-services and mobile technologies enable the pervasiveness of 
business processes and independence from a geographic location.

The topic theme is mandatory for Idea Paper submissions, all other 
submissions are free to address any topic related to the fields of 
Business Process Modeling, Development and Support.

Submissions

You are invited to submit a paper that concerns the topics mentioned 
above and all other topics related to business process modeling, 
development and support. Three categories of submissions are welcome:

1) Completed research papers (technical papers or empirical evaluation 
papers) should report results in an advanced stage, including at least 
partial evaluation.

2)  Experience reports present work completed or being completed in the 
context of a real-life organization. The work should have some practical 
goal, pure research purpose does not fall in the category "Experience 
report".

3) Idea papers related to the focus theme “Transformative BPMDS” should 
address completely new research positions or approaches, demonstrating 
the shortcomings of current methods, tools, meta-models, etc.

Full papers with up to 15 pages or short papers with up to 8 pages can 
be submitted to these categories. Submissions should follow the 
guidelines in http://www.bpmds.org/guidelines and adhere to the 
formatting instructions at 
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html. Please submit your paper 
in PDF format through the conference management system at 
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bpmds19. The work must be 
unpublished and must not be under review elsewhere. Accepted submissions 
will be presented during the working conference, and full papers will be 
published in a Springer LNBIP proceedings volume. Accepted short papers 
will be published in a CEUR online proceedings volume. After the 
BPMDS’19 conference, selected papers can be published as extended 
versions in a special issue of the International Journal on Software and 
Systems Modeling (SoSyM, www.sosym.org). Note that the topic theme 
“Transformative BPMDS” is suggested to make this year’s edition of BPMDS 
a special forum for this theme, however, it is mandatory for “idea 
paper” submissions only.

About BPMDS

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 
nineteen events from 1998 to 2018. 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: http://www.bpmds.org/history.
