BPMS2 2009

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: June 2, 2009
http://crinfo.univ-paris1.fr/users/nurcan/BPMS2_2009/

Organizers:
Selmin Nurcan – University Paris 1 Panthéon Sorbonne, France
Rainer Schmidt – Aalen University , Germany


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.
