CALL FOR PAPERS

Second International Workshop on Business Process Management and Social 
Software (BPMS2)

in conjunction with BPM 2009
September 7th, 2009, Ulm, Germany

Papers submission deadline: May 22d, 2009
http://crinfo.univ-paris1.fr/users/nurcan/BPMS2_2009/

Organizers:
Selmin Nurcan – University Paris 1 Panthéon Sorbonne, France

SCOPE:

Social software is a new paradigm that is spreading quickly in society, 
organizations and economics. It supports social interaction and social 
production. Social interaction is the interaction of non-predetermined 
individuals. Social production is the creation of artefacts, by combining 
the input from independent contributors without predetermining the way to 
do this. Users are supported in creating new contacts, presenting 
themselves and collaborating with other users. As a result, content, 
knowledge and software is not created by a hierarchy of experts, but by 
combining a multitude of contributions of independent authors/actors. 
Examples for such a social production are wikis, blogs, social bookmarking 
and tagging, etc.

Social software follows a more egalitarian and meritocratic approach 
compared to traditional approaches where the role of the software user is 
determined by the enterprise senior management and its representatives. 
Thus, trust and reputation play a crucial role in the use of social 
software instead of authority granted by the top management.

The paradigm of social software and social production has created a 
multitude of success stories such as wikipedia.org and the development of 
the Linux operating system. Therefore, more and more enterprises see social 
software and social production as a means for further improvement of their 
business processes and business models. For example, they integrate their 
customers into product development by using blogs to capture ideas for new 
products and features. Thus, business processes have to be adapted to new 
communication patterns between customers and the enterprise: for example, 
the communication with the customer is increasingly a bi-directional 
communication with the customer and among the customers. Social software 
also offers new possibilities to enhance business processes by improving 
the exchange of knowledge and information, to speed up decisions, etc.

Up to now, the interaction of social software and the underlying paradigm 
of social production with business processes have not been investigated in 
depth. Therefore, the objective of the workshop is to explore how social 
software and social production interact with business process management, 
how business process management has to change to comply with social 
production, and how business processes may profit from social techniques.


TOPICS OF INTEREST:

1.  New opportunities provided by social software for BPM
           - How can business processes fit to business models based on the 
paradigm of social production?
           - Which new possibilities for the design of business processes 
are created by social software?
           - How are trust and reputation established in business processes 
using social software?
           - Are there business processes which require sociality, 
especially when they are not well defined
             (as production workflows) but collaborative or ad hoc?
           - How does social production influence the design of business 
processes?
           - What is the impact on conceptual models for those categories 
of business processes which are not well-defined
            or that we do not wish to freeze using classical business 
process enactment systems for instance?

2.  Engineering next generation of business processes: BPM 2.0 ?
           - Do we need new BPM methods and/or paradigms to cope with 
social software?
           - Is there an influence of social production and social software 
on BPM methods themselves?
           - Are there any similarities or relationships with process 
mining techniques and also with workflow control and role patterns?
           - Which phases of the BPM lifecycle (Design, Deployment, 
Performance, and Evaluation) are affected the most by social software?
           - How can BPM profit from using social software?
           - Which types of social software can be used in which phases of 
the BPM lifecycle?

3.  Business process implementation support by social software
           - Which kinds of social software can be used to implement 
business processes?
           - Which categories of business processes can profit from social 
software?
           - How does social software interact with WFMS or other business 
process support systems?
           - How can we use Wikis, Blogs etc. to support business processes?
           - What new kinds of business knowledge representation are 
offered by social production?


SUBMISSION:

Prospective authors are invited to submit papers for presentation in any of 
the areas listed above. Only papers in English will be accepted. Length of 
full papers must not exceed 12 pages (There is no possibility to buy 
additional pages). Position papers and tool reports should be no longer 
than 6 pages.
Papers should be submitted in the new LNBIP format 
(http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-7-487211-0). Papers have 
to present original research contributions not concurrently submitted 
elsewhere. The title page must contain a short abstract, a classification 
of the topics covered, preferably using the list of topics above, and an 
indication of the submission category (regular paper/position paper/tool 
report).

Papers (preferably in PDF format) should be emailed to 
Rainer.Schmidt at htw-aalen.de.

The paper selection will be based upon the relevance of a paper to the main 
topics, as well as upon its quality and potential to generate relevant 
discussion. All the workshop papers will be published by Springer as a 
post-proceeding volume (to be sent around 4 months after the workshop) in 
their Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing (LNBIP) series.



EXPECTED RESULTS:

All papers will be published on workshop wiki before the workshop, so that 
everybody can learn about the problems that are important for other 
participants.
A blog will be used to encourage and support discussions.
The workshop will consist of long and short paper presentations, 
brainstorming sessions and discussions.
The workshop report will be created collaboratively using a wiki.

A special issue over all workshops will be published in the Journal of 
Software Process Improvement and Practice for selected BPM 2009 workshop 
papers. For each of the eight workshops one paper will be selected and 
invited for extension and submission for the special issue.
