Business Process Modeling, Development, and Support (BPMDS)
the 25th edition of the BPMDS series, in conjunction with CAiSE 2024

BPMDS 2024 Working Conference

3-4 June 2024, Limassol, Cyprus

http://www.bpmds.org

The BPMDS working conference, sponsored by IFIP WG8.1, has been a fertile ground for influential research and a catalyst for pioneering developments in business process modeling and support. This year, we reaffirm our commitment to fostering cutting-edge research and facilitating robust discussions that shape the future of business processes.
Recognizing the evolving nature of our field, we introduce innovations to the submission process designed to enhance participation and engagement. We invite contributions that span completed research, work-in-progress, and formative ideas. We encourage submissions that not only reflect on the established foundations of BPMDS, but also explore new paradigms, methodologies, and applications. Whether through the lens of AI and machine learning, process mining, human-centric approaches, or the implications of digital assistants such as ChatGPT, we seek to reflect the dynamic and diverse nature of our community.

Topics
1. Process Mining and Data-Driven BPM: Discussing techniques and tools to obtain process-related information from event logs, including process discovery, conformance checking, and enhancement.
2. AI and Machine Learning in BPM: How are artificial intelligence and machine learning being used to improve any facet of the BPM?
3. Assistants and BPM: Exploring how assistants such as ChatGPT impact BPM.
4. Advancements in Business Process Modeling: Exploring the latest developments, including new symbols, semantics, and modeling approaches.
5. Platforms and BPM: Joining innovation and transaction platforms with business process management.
6. Case Studies on BPM in Different Industries: Sharing practical experiences and insights from applying BPM in sectors such as healthcare, finance, manufacturing, and services.
7. Collaborative BPM Approaches: Strategies for collaborative modeling, development, and support of business processes, possibly using cloud-based platforms.
8. Human-centric BPM: Focusing on the role of human judgment and interaction in BPM and how to better integrate human factors.
9. BPM for Sustainability: Leveraging BPM to support sustainable business practices and the development of green business processes.
10. Regulatory Compliance and BPM: Addressing how business process modeling or BPM in general can aid in achieving and maintaining regulatory compliance.
11. Future Trends in BPM: Predicting future directions of BPM research, including potential disruptive technologies and methodologies.
12. BPM Education and Training: Best practices for teaching and training professionals in business process modeling, development, and support.
13. Evaluation and Benchmarking of BPM Tools: Providing insights into the evaluation of BPM tools and methodologies, including comparative studies and benchmarking.
