CALL FOR PAPERS
6th International Workshop on Business Process Management and Social
Software (BPMS2)
in conjunction with BPM 2013
August 26th, 2013, Beijing, China
Papers submission deadline: May 25th, 2013

SCOPE
------
Social software is a new paradigm that is spreading quickly in society,
organizations and economics. It enables social business that has
created a multitude of success stories. More and more enterprises use
social software to improve their business processes and create new
business models. Social software is used both in internal and external
business processes. Using social software, the communication with the
customer is increasingly bi-directional. E.g. companies integrate
customers into product development to capture ideas for new products and
features. Social software also creates new possibilities to enhance
internal business processes by improving the exchange of knowledge and
information, to speed up decisions, etc..
• Weak ties
Weak-ties are spontaneously established contacts between individuals
that create new views and allow combining competencies. Social software
supports the creation of weak ties by supporting to create contacts in
impulse between non-predetermined individuals
• Social Production
Social Production is the creation of artefacts, by combining the input
from independent contributors without predetermining the way to do this.
By this means it is possible to integrate new and innovative
contributions not identified or planned in advance. Reputation based
mechanisms assure quality following an a posteriori approach.
• Egalitarianism
Egalitarianism is the attitude of handling individuals equally. Social
software highly relies on egalitarianism and therefore strives for
giving all participants the same rights to contribute. This is done with
the intention to encourage a maximum of contributors and to get the best
solution fusioning a high number of contributions, thus enabling the
wisdom of the crowds . Social software realizes egalitarianism by
abolishing hierarchical structures, merging the roles of contributors
and consumers and introducing a culture of trust.
• Mutual Service Provisioning
Social software abolishes the separation of service provider and
consumer by introducing the idea, that service provisioning is a mutual
process of service exchange. Thus both service provider and consumer (or
better prosumer) provide services to one another in order co-create
value . This mutual service provisioning contrasts to the idea of
industrial service provisioning, where services are produced in
separation from the customer to achieve scaling effects.
Up to now, the interaction of social software and its underlying
paradigms with business processes have not been investigated in depth.
Therefore, the objective of the workshop is to explore how social
software interacts with business process management, how business
process management has to change to comply with weak ties, social
production, egalitarianism and mutual service, and how business
processes may profit from these principles.
-------------------
TOPICS OF INTEREST
-------------------
The workshop will discuss three topics. Social Business Process
Management, Social Business and Big Data in Social Business. Social
Business Process Management is the use of social software to support one
or multiple phases of the business process life cycle.
1. Social Business Process Management (SBPM)
- Which phases of the BPM lifecycle (Design, Deployment, Operation, and
Evaluation) can profit the most by social software?
- Do we need new BPM methods and/or paradigms to cope with social software?
- Is there an influence of weak ties, social production, egalitarianism
and mutual service provisioning on BPM methods themselves?
- How are trust and reputation established in business processes using
social software?
- How do weak ties, social production, egalitarianism and mutual service
provisioning influence the design of business processes?
- How does social software interact with WFMS or other business process
support systems?
- What is the impact on conceptual models for those categories of
business processes which are not well-defined ?
2. Social Business: Social software supporting business processes
- Which new possibilities for the support of business processes are
created by social software?
- Are there business processes which require sociality, especially when
they are not predictable (as production workflows) but collaborative or
ad hoc?
- How can we use Wikis, Blogs etc. to support business processes?
- Which types of social software can be used in which phases of the BPM
lifecycle?
- What new kinds of business knowledge representation are offered by
social production?
3. Big Data in Social Busines
- Which data created with social software can be used to support
business processes?
- Which categories of business processes can profit from big data ?
- Are there any similarities or relationships with process mining
techniques and also with workflow control and role patterns?

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).
Please use Easychair for submitting your paper:
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bpms213
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 (www.bpms2.org) 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 a journal (decision in progress).
The two papers collaboratively written by the BPMS2’08 and BPMS2’09
workshop authors (see below) have been accepted for publication in the
Journal of Software Maintenance and Evolution: Research and Practice
