CALL FOR PAPERS
AXPRO – Special Session on Agentic AI for Business Processes


SCOPE

Agentic AI introduces new forms of autonomy, adaptivity, and decision-making that fundamentally reshape how business processes are designed, enacted, and governed. Rather than replacing established BPM concepts, agentic systems extend the process lifecycle through runtime decision-making and hybrid human–AI execution, often realized through multi-agent and context-aware architectures.

This evolution raises challenges for process architectures, control mechanisms, accountability, and governance in increasingly autonomous process environments.

AXPRO addresses these challenges by focusing on agentic AI as a key driver of adaptive and decision-centric business processes. The session aims to explore architectures, methods, and evaluation approaches for agentic AI–enabled processes across analysis, modeling, execution, monitoring, and redesign.

We welcome conceptual, empirical, and technical contributions advancing theory and practice for next-generation process and information systems.
