Dear colleagues,
The topics addressed by the BPMDS series are focused on business
processes and their IT support. One of the major aims is to discuss and
to learn about concepts and techniques to enhance the ability to
engineer software systems closer the business requirements.
This year’s topic theme, “Reflections on human-human interaction and
responsibility in a virtual environment” reflects the abundance of
virtual environments in all domains of our lives.
Since 2012, a special issue is organised per year in the International
Journal on Software and Systems Modeling (SoSyM) with the extended
papers invited from the BPMDS working conference.
The papers should be submitted through the conference management system
available at
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bpmds2022
Happy and Healty New Year !

***************************************************************************************************
The 23d International Working Conference on Business Process Modeling,
Development, and Support (BPMDS'2022)
held in conjunction with CAiSE’2022
6-7 June 2022, Leuven, Belgium
Submission deadline: March 7th, 2022

SPONSORS:
---------
- Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering (CAiSE). BPMDS
is linked on an ongoing basis to the CAiSE conference series since 2011.
- International Federation for Information Processing Working Group 8.1
(IFIP WG 8.1).
- Springer. BPMDS proceedings are published in a Springer LNBIP
proceedings volume, "Enterprise, Business-Process and Information
Systems Modeling”, since 2009.
The Business Process Modeling, Development and Support (BPMDS) working
conference has been held for more than two decades, dealing with, and
promoting research on BPMDS. It has been a platform for a multitude of
influential research papers. In keeping with its tradition, the working
conference covers a broad range of theoretical and application-based
research on BPMDS.
This year’s topic theme, “Reflections on human-human interaction and
responsibility in a virtual environment” reflects the abundance of
virtual environments in all domains of our lives. Technologies are here.
Are we ready to use those technologies in an extremely connected world
where false information spreads faster than the true one with
detrimental consequences? Are we mature enough to process the
information as fast as the computers provide them? What is the meaning
of a “like” in a professional environment when the ”thing” which has
been “liked” was not precisely read or understood? How should we enhance
business process engineering, modeling, and management to master this
increasing complexity? How could/should human-computer interfaces
support the issues related to increasing reflexes (fast clicks) to the
detriment of reflection? A pilot who is using a flight simulator during
her training is aware that this is a virtual and fictitious platform,
and she is confident that she will use the competencies she is acquiring
in this virtual and fictitious environment, later in the physical world;
the new competencies will be partly due to the mistakes made using the
flight simulator. On the opposite, is the surfer, who likes or comments
in an online social network, totally aware that she acts in the “real
world” (not a fictitious one) when she clicks? Is she aware of her
responsibility?
Virtual does not mean fictitious. Using virtual environments expands our
capabilities/frontiers of action in the real world (“real” in opposition
to “fictitious”). E.g., using voice-based assistants such as Amazon
Alexa allows integrating people who have been excluded (because of their
handicap) by graphical user interfaces from using software systems so
far. Digital technologies enable the creation of new business models.
E.g. platforms such as Airbnb integrate huge numbers of external
resources. An important factor to accomplish this is the provisioning of
information on these resources and evaluating their quality. Both can
only be accomplished by collecting this information with digital means.
Consequently, we are more and more drastically responsible for what we
produce as information.
Organizations and the world are going through huge transformations due,
in large part, to information technologies and their direct and indirect
impacts. These transformations impact frontally the information systems,
which support the business processes of organizations, and therefore the
actors in carrying out their activities/missions. The speed of
organizational and societal transformations requires continuous
improvement and innovation processes. Creativity and responsibility are
determining factors and require detailed and multi-faceted knowledge of
the problem to handle and of the context. The unpredictability of the
related transformations (and more particularly their detrimental
effects) requires more than ever a systemic vision in the (i)
engineering and governance of information systems and (ii) in the
engineering and architecture of business processes ecosystems the latter
have to support.
The opportunities for evolution and transformation assume the ability to
capture, store, organize, search and analyze large volumes of
information and put us in front of many new challenges: meeting and
mastering the requirements of volume, speed, variety, veracity, the
value of data, comply with data protection laws, and be fully aware of
(and responsible for) the components of the new VUCA world (volatility,
uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity). We are all responsible as
engineers, researchers, professors, and citizens. We need human
intelligence more than ever.
We are inviting you
- To discuss and reflect on human-human interaction and
responsibility in a virtual environment where everything becomes
information: Social networks, social engineering, discernment,
reflection vs. reflex, ethics, responsibility, citizenship.
- To identify the value of all kinds of business process models as
artifacts for helping us to reflect on those challenges.
- To bring new artifacts in process modeling related to those new
challenges to enhance the ability of organizations and humans to act and
cooperate as structured as possible and as flexibly as necessary.
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, which include but
are not limited to:

Prospective conference participants 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) Full 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
goals, and present lessons learned that can be applied in a generalized
context.
(3) Idea papers related to the focus theme “Reflections on human-human
interaction and responsibility in a virtual environment”; 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 long or short papers with up to 8 pages
can be submitted to these categories. The work must be unpublished and
must not be under review elsewhere.
Papers should be submitted in Adobe PDF format. Submissions should use
the guidelines provided in
https://sites.google.com/view/bpmds/bpmds2022/submission and adhere to
the formatting instructions at
https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines
Please submit your paper in PDF format through the conference management
system at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bpmds2022.
Note that the topic theme “Reflections on human-human interaction and
responsibility in a virtual environment” 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.
