Call for Papers

ICPM 2021
  3rd International Conference on Process Mining
  October 31 - November 4, 2021

  https://icpmconference.org/2021/

********************************************************************************

The International Conference on Process Mining (ICPM) is the premium forum
for researchers, practitioners and developers in process mining. The
objective is to explore and exchange knowledge in this field through
scientific talks, industry discussions, contests, technical tutorials and
panels. The conference covers all aspects of process mining research and
practice, including theory, algorithmic challenges, applications and
connections with other fields.

The conference is technically co-sponsored by the IEEE Computational
Intelligence Society, and supported by the IEEE Task Force on Process
Mining.

Process mining is an innovative research field which focuses on extracting
business process insights from transactional data commonly recorded by IT
systems, with the ultimate goal of analyzing and improving organizational
productivity along performance dimensions such as efficiency, quality,
compliance and risk. By relying on data rather than perceptions gained from
interviews and workshops, process mining shifts the way of thinking from
"confidence-based" to "evidence-based" business process management. Thus,
process mining distinguishes itself within the information systems domain
by its fundamental focus on understanding, analyzing, and improving
business processes based on process data.

Current process mining challenges include scalability, i.e., dealing with
volume, velocity and variability of input data, especially in
real-time/online settings using event streams; approximation, i.e.,
balancing computation time with accuracy; understandability and
explainability, i.e., providing easy-to-understand and explainable
analytics; multi-perspective analysis, i.e., considering data, resources
and time beyond the process control flow; measurability, e.g., providing a
comprehensive framework for measuring differences between observed and
modelled process behavior, and ethical and confidential aspects of process
mining, i.e., how to ensure that process mining procedures and results do
not violate ethical and privacy principles.

ICPM 2021 will take place on October 31st-November 4th at the Campus of the
Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlands.

TOPICS FOR RESEARCH PAPERS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ICPM 2021 encourages papers on new methodologies, techniques and
applications for process mining, as well as case studies coming from
industrial scenarios. Also, papers describing novel tools, fundamental
research and empirical studies on process mining are expected. For the sake
of replicability of the presented studies, the addition of supplementary
resources is strongly encouraged, such as: used datasets, a publicly
accessible implementation for new techniques, experimental packages for
empirical studies. The use of novel, previously unpublished datasets is
most welcome. Research on existing datasets must clearly showcase the
novelty or unprecedented results of the applied analysis.

Selected, accepted research papers will be considered for publication in an
extended and revised form in a special issue of an international journal.

The thematic areas in which contributions are sought include, but are not
limited to, those listed below.

Process mining techniques:
 * Automated Discovery of Process Models
 * Conformance/compliance Analysis
 * Construction of Event Logs
 * Event Log Quality Improvement
 * Decision Mining for Processes
 * Rule/constraint-based Process Mining
 * Mining from non-process-aware systems / event streams
 * Multi-perspective Process Mining
 * Simulation/optimization for Process Mining
 * Predictive Process Analytics
 * Prescriptive Process Analytics and Recommender Systems
 * Responsible Process Mining
 * Privacy-preserving Process Mining
 * Process Model Repair
 * Process Performance Mining
 * Variants/deviance Analysis and Root-cause Analysis
 * Visual Process Analytics
 * Process Monitoring

Process mining fundamental research:
 * Formal Foundations of Process Mining
 * Comparative and Benchmark Studies on Process Mining
 * Conceptual Models Related to Process Mining
 * Human-centered Studies on Process Mining
 * Process Mining Quality Measures
 * Process Mining Guidelines

Process mining applications and case studies in:
 * Artificial Intelligence
 * Blockchain Technologies
 * Robotic Process Automation (RPA)
 * Business Activity Monitoring and Business Intelligence
 * (Cyber) Security and Privacy
 * Operations Management and Lean Six Sigma
 * Process Performance Measurement
 * Process Reengineering
 * Resource Management
 * Risk Management
 * Sensors, Internet-of-Things (IoT) and Wearable Devices
 * Specific domains (such as accounting, finance, government, healthcare,
manufacturing)
