Dear Colleague, <br>
<br>
BPMDS is a two-day working conference attached to CAiSE (Conference
on Advanced Information Systems Engineering). <br>
<br>
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. <br>
<br>
The papers should be submitted through the conference management
system available at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bpmds2013">https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bpmds2013</a>
<br>
<br>
Kind regards,<br>
<br>
Selmin Nurcan <br>
On behalf of BPMDS'2013 Organising Committee <br>
<br>

ABOUT THE BPMDS CONFERENCE: <br>
-------------------------- <br>
The topics addressed by the BPMDS series are focused on business
processes and their IT support. This is one of the keystones of
information systems theory, and a topic that any major conference in
the area of information systems needs to address, independently of
the current fashion. The continued interest in this topic on behalf
of the IS community is reflected by the success of the past BPMDS
events, and their promotion from a workshop to a working conference.<br>
<br>
The BPMDS series has produced thirteen events from 1998 to 2012.
From 2011, BPMDS has become a two-day working conference attached to
CAiSE (Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering). The
basic principles of the BPMDS series:<br>
<br>
1. BPMDS serves as a meeting place for researchers and practitioners
in the areas of business development, and business applications
(software) development <br>
2. The aim of the event is mainly discussions, rather than
presentations. <br>
3. Each event has a theme that is mandatory for idea papers.<br>
4. Each event's results are, usually, published in a special issue
of an international journal.<br>
<br>
The goals, format, and history of BPMDS can be found on the web
site: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://www.bpmds.org/history">http://www.bpmds.org/history</a><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: <br>
------------------- <br>
BPMDS solicits papers related to Business Process Modeling,
Development and Support (BPMDS) in general, using quality as a main
selection criterion. As a working conference, we would like to
attract papers describing mature research, but we still give place
to industrial reports and visionary idea papers. To encourage new
and emerging challenges and research directions in the area of
business process modeling, development and support, we have a unique
focus theme every year. <br>
<br>
Papers submitted as idea papers will be required to be of relevance
to the focus theme, thus providing a mass of new ideas around a
relatively narrow but emerging research area. <br>
<br>
Full research papers and experience reports are not required to be
directly connected to this theme (they still need to be explicitly
relevant to BPMDS though). <br>
<br>
The focus theme for BPMDS'13 idea papers is "Coping with Complexity
in Business Processes".<br>
<br>
Today, business processes have to cope with increasing complexity in
several areas. First, business processes are increasingly becoming
cross and inter organizational. External processes and services have
to be integrated into processes. Second, data is becoming more and
more important for business processes. Recent advances such as data
science and big data provide huge amounts of information to be
processed in business processes. Third, business processes are
executed in complex environments, which may consist of
cloud-services and resources and may introduce flexibility
requirements.<br>
<br>
We invite the visionaries (from research and industry) to exploit
this theme and submit idea papers that deal with specific complexity
aspects of business processes, such as data orientation as in MDM
(master data management) and relation to big data, need for
context-awareness and flexibility, and integration of business
processes with social media. <br>
<br>
We also welcome research papers that include ideas on how
theoretical results discussed can be used in practice, as well as
experience reports on using theories in practice. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>

SUBMISSIONS: <br>
----------- <br>
Prospective conference participants are invited to submit a paper
that concerns business process modeling and development, and/or
business process support (development of software dedicated to
business processes). We solicit the papers (both research papers and
experience reports) that contain results worth of discussion. For
full research papers, it means that reported research should be in
an advance stage and a paper includes results and at least partial
evaluation. <br>
<br>
Thus three kinds of submissions are possible: <br>
<br>
(1) Full research papers. <br>
<br>
(2) Experience reports, which should follow guidelines in <a
class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://www.bpmds.org/guidelines">http://www.bpmds.org/guidelines</a>.
<br>
<br>
(3) Idea papers related to the focus theme, devoted to completely
new research positions or approaches, in order to face to a generic
situation that arises because of, for instance, new methods and
tools or new types of emerging challenges; the compliance to the
focus theme is mandatory for idea papers, which should describe
precisely the situation and demonstrate the shortcomings of current
methods, tools, ways of reasoning, meta-models, etc.<br>
<br>
Papers of all submission types should be of up to 15 pages. Please
follow the LNCS format instructions at <a
class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html">http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html</a>
for all of them. <br>
<br>
Papers should be submitted in Adobe PDF format. The results
described must be unpublished and must not be under review
elsewhere. The papers should be submitted through the conference
management system available at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bpmds2013">https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bpmds2013</a>
