Call for Contributions
Business Process Management is an integrated approach towards the alignment
of information systems with business requirements. Business Process
Management (BPM) is often described with the help of the BPM life cycle.
This life cycle covers, for instance, the activities of process
identification, discovery, analysis, (re-)design, implementation and
monitoring (Dumas et al. 2013). Additionally, strategy, governance, methods,
information technology, people and culture are considered to be important
facets of a BPM initiative (Rosemann, vom Brocke 2015).
BPM is supported by a diverse set of concepts and techniques. On the
modeling and analysis level, a variety of different strategies for support
exists such as auto-completion, correctness and compliance checking,
abstraction and matching, and semantic patterns. On the execution and
monitoring level, the application of techniques such as recommender systems,
automatic planning approaches, adaptive case management, complex event
processing or semantic matching have been proposed. Semantic technologies
play an important role for many of these applications (see e.g., Hepp et al.
2005, Leopold 2013, Fellmann et al. 2015, Mendling et al. 2015, Conforti et
al. 2015) to provide smart functionality.
This Special Issue invites researchers that work at the intersection of BPM
and Smart Technologies to submit original research papers.
Submissions should address research problems in the area of BPM and the
intersection of, among others, the following (and related) topics:
BPM and formal ontologies
BPM and natural language processing
BPM and social media content
BPM and machine learning
BPM and decision support
BPM and process mining
BPM and sensor data
BPM and reasoning
BPM and the Internet of Things
BPM and automatic matching
BPM and semantic modeling support
BPM and querying techniques
BPM and complex event processing
BPM and automatic planning
BPM and verification
BPM and documentation
BPM and flexibility execution
The special issue embraces submissions on new concepts, techniques, methods
and approaches as well as studies that empirically investigate new or
existing techniques for their feasibility, effectiveness, efficiency, and
usability.
