<big> <b>SoSyM Theme Issue: The Human Perspective in Business
Processes</b></big><br>
<br>
<br>
The BPMDS (Business Process Modeling, Development and Support)
series in conjunction with CAiSE focuses on business processes and
their IT support -one of the keystones of information systems
theory- since 1998.<br>
<br>
BPMDS solicits papers related to Business Process Modeling,
Development and Support (BPMDS) in general. To encourage new and
emerging challenges and research directions in the area of business
process modeling, development and support, we have a unique focus
theme every year for the idea papers. The focus theme for BPMDS'2014
idea papers was:<br>
<br>
<i> The human perspective in Business Processes</i><br>
<br>
The human perspective is of essence since humans direct business
processes rather than computers. It plays a major role in all phases
of BPMDS. The human perspective in business process modeling relates
to the individual who creates a process model, to the communication
among people that is facilitated by the business process model
during and after the modeling process, and to the social process of
collaborative modeling. The human perspective in business process
design relates to the kind of interaction / collaboration /
coordination / cooperation that should to be implemented in the
business process or to specific human-related aspects of the
business process itself and their representations in models. The
human perspective in business process support relates to all social
aspects of the business process and its management in an
organization.<br>
<br>
The Journal of Software and Systems Modeling (SoSyM) (<a
class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.sosym.org/">http://www.sosym.org/</a>)
invites original, high-quality submissions for its theme issue on
“The Human Perspective in Business Processes (BP)” focusing on
topics related to BPMDS, including:<br>
<br>
- <i><b>Business Process Modeling</b></i>: multi-perspectives on BP
modeling, representations of humans in BP models, actor-driven (vs
activity driven) representations of BPs, variability and
adaptability of BP models, BP modeling enhanced by social software
and social networks.<br>
- <b><i>Business Process Support</i></b>: BP change management and
governance issues, BP support combined with social software and
social networks, actor support vs control support in BPs, enhancing
creativity in BPs, mobile technologies and context aware BPs.<br>
- <i><b>Requirements on Business Processes</b></i>: flexibility,
variability, adaptability, knowledge-intensive business processes,
context aware business processes, cross-organizational business
processes compliance, reliability, security, performance.<br>
