<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>
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>

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>
