BPMN 2011 - 3rd International Workshop on the Business Process Model and 
Notation

21-22 November 2011, Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts, 
Switzerland


BACKGROUND

The Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) standard experiences a 
huge uptake in both academia and industry. It is seen by many as the 
de-facto standard for business process modeling, analysis, and 
execution. It’s promise of being one language for Business and IT has 
made it very popular with business analysts, tool vendors, 
practitioners, and end users. Dozens of standard implementations are 
listed on the OMG website.

After two successful workshops in Vienna, Austria and Potsdam, Germany, 
this third workshop brings together researchers and practitioners to 
discuss and present the latest developments around BPMN.

TOPICS

We invite researchers and practitioners to contribute to the workshop on 
practical and theoretical aspects of the BPMN standard, addressing or 
going beyond one of the following topics:

BPMN as a modeling language
- process modeling methodologies
- modeling best practices and practical language subsets
- modeling extensions and language profiles
- consistency between BPMN collaboration, conversation, and choreography 
models
- integration with other modeling languages and language comparisons
- gaps in the language and open challenges
- integration of business vocabularies and business rules
- quality of BPMN models and model verification

Practical experience with BPMN
- Successful business process management with BPMN
- Addressing different stakeholder needs in BPMN
- Experience with subsets of the standard notation on real projects
- BPMN beyond modeling: process reengineering and optimization
- Bridging the Business-IT gap: Does BPMN deliver on its promise?
- BPMN for specific sectors: healthcare, industry, government, …

BPMN tools and runtimes
- Success stories, gaps and challenges
- Collaborative modeling

BPMN for business analysis
- simulation and business insight
- understanding of BPMN diagrams across different stakeholders
- process optimization
- process monitoring and improvement

BPMN for process execution
- aspects of the BPMN execution semantics
- challenges in Business-IT integration
- enterprise applications and service composition and BPMN

Empirical research on BPMN
- BPMN in specific industries and e-government
- User experience studies
- BPMN tools (smart editors, simulators, runtimes, monitoring environments)

Future directions of BPMN

IMPORTANT DATES

Paper submission deadline: 30 June 2011
Author notification: 5 August 2011
Camera-ready copy: 5 September 2011

CONTRIBUTIONS AND SUBMISSION PROCEDURE

We invite three types of contributions to the workshop: scientific 
papers, practical experience reports and tool demos.

Scientific papers must present unpublished work that is not being 
considered in another forum, but can present unfinished research. They 
should clearly establish their research contribution and relation to 
previous research. Authors are requested to prepare submissions in 
English of no more than 15 pages as closely as possible to the final 
camera-ready version following the Springer LNBIP instructions for 
authors available from Springer: http://www.springer.com/series/7911. 
Electronic submission of manuscripts (in PDF) is required via EasyChair: 
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bpmn2011. Submitted papers 
will be evaluated by an international program committee on the basis of 
their significance to the workshop topics, originality, and technical 
quality.

Practical experience reports can be submitted in one of two forms. 
Either a title and a summary of approximately 400 words can be submitted 
in English or in German by email to r.m.dijkman at tue.nl; or a short paper 
of no more than 6 pages can be submitted for inclusion in the paper 
proceedings. Practitioner reports must be written by at least one author 
from practice and must reflect on how well BPMN worked for a particular 
organization. They will be evaluated by an international program 
committee on the extent to which lessons can be learned to improve BPMN. 
Short papers must be formatted in English as closely as possible to the 
final camera-ready version following the Springer LNBIP instructions for 
authors available from Springer: http://www.springer.com/series/7911. 
Electronic submission of manuscripts (in PDF) is required via EasyChair: 
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bpmn2011.

Tool demos can be submitted in one of two forms. Either a title and a 
summary of approximately 400 words can be submitted in English or in 
German by email to r.m.dijkman at tue.nl; or a short paper of no more than 
6 pages can be submitted for inclusion in the paper proceedings. Tool 
demo papers should clearly establish a research contribution and 
relation to previous research. They will be evaluated by an 
international program committee on the basis of their significance to 
the workshop topics, originality, and technical quality. Short papers 
must be formatted in English as closely as possible to the final 
camera-ready version following the Springer LNBIP instructions for 
authors available from Springer: http://www.springer.com/series/7911. 
Electronic submission of manuscripts (in PDF) is required via EasyChair: 
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bpmn2011.

Papers selected for this workshop will be published in the regular BPMN 
2011 proceedings in Springer's Lecture Notes in Business Information 
Processing (LNBIP). At least one author is required to attend the 
workshop and present the paper. Presentations and demos will be listed 
with title and abstract in the workshop brochure. Presentations of the 
speakers selected for the workshop will be video-recorded and speeches 
will be available on the workshop webpage after the workshop depending 
on agreement of the speakers to the publication of their speeches.
