The conference has a record of attracting innovative research of highest quality related to all aspects of business process management, including theory, frameworks, methods, techniques, architectures, and empirical findings. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>Submissions are invited for workshop proposals to be included in the BPM 2014 Workshop Program. Workshops facilitate the exchange of ideas and experiences between active researchers and stimulate discussions on new and emerging perspective in line with the conference topics. Workshops may concentrate on specific research topics or may be devoted to applications and/or standardization issues.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>All workshop papers will be published by Springer as a post-workshop proceedings volume in the series Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing (LNBIP). These proceedings will be made available to all registered participants approximately four months after the workshops, while preliminary proceedings will be distributed during the workshop.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>Proposals will be assessed in terms of consistency and completeness. Different criteria will be considered by the workshop chairs for deciding whether a proposal is accepted or not. The workshop proposers should have a strong affinity with the proposed workshop topic and be well connected with experts on that topic. The workshop itself should provide a forum for important, innovative and/or timely BPM subtopics. Furthermore, we encourage the workshop proposers to integrate mechanisms in their workshop to stimulate discussion and interaction beyond what is possible in a plenary conference session. Beyond these aspects, the workshop chairs will ensure that the accepted workshops as a whole cover a broad spectrum of the BPM research discipline. To this end, there will be a negotiation phase in which we seek to consolidate and mark off promising workshop proposals that show overlap. Note that the final decision on the acceptance format of a workshop will be made by the workshop chairs considering the above mentioned criteria and the overall impression of the proposal.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>Please submit your workshop proposal including at least the following information:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>•Workshop title and acronym;<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>•Outline of the workshop theme, goals, planned activities, and intended audience;<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>•An indication of whether the workshop is planned as a full day or a half day event;<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>•Targeted or past acceptance rate(s) and number of submissions;<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>•Brief biography of each organizer;<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>•Envisioned activities for stimulating submissions;<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>•The tentative PC and call for papers.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>Workshop proposals should be submitted via </span><a href="https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bpmws2014"><span lang=EN-GB>https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bpmws2014</span></a><span lang=EN-GB> as an A4 PDF document by the deadline indicated below.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>•01 Dec 2013: Deadline for workshop proposals<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>•13 Dec 2013: Notification of proposal acceptance, rejection, or invitation to negotiation<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>•20 Dec 2013: Deadline to complete negotiations<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>•01 June 2014: Workshop papers tentative submission deadline<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>•01 July 2014: Workshop papers tentative notification deadline<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>•23 July 2014: Workshop camera-ready papers deadline<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>•08 Sept 2014: Workshops<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>We are looking forward to your proposals!<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal>Fabiana Fournier and Jan Mendling<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
