SCOPE
------
Social software is a new paradigm that is spreading quickly in society,
organizations and economics. Social software has created a multitude of
success stories such as wikipedia.org and the development of the Linux
operating system. Therefore, more and more enterprises regard social
software 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. Social software is based on four principles:
weak ties, social production, egalitarianism and mutual service
provisioning.
• 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. Social mechanisms
such as reputation assure quality in social production in an a
posteriori approach by enabling a collective evaluation by all participants.
• 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
-------------------
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 do weak ties, social production, egalitarianism and mutual service
provisioning 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 weak ties, social production, egalitarianism
and mutual service provisioning 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).
Please use Easychair for submitting your paper:
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bpms212
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 BPMS2’08 workshop on BPM2008 in Milan had the 4th rank in
submissions from 8 workshops. Acceptance rate was 50 %. The BPMS2’09
attracted 13 submissions, from which 7 have been accepted. The BPMS2’10
attracted 14 submissions, from which 8 have been accepted. The BPMS2’11
attracted 14 submissions, from which 6 have been accepted.
The two papers collaboratively written by the BPMS2’08 and BPMS2’09
workshop authors (see below) have been accepted for publication in the
