BPMN 2011 - 3rd International Workshop on the Business Process Model and Notation

21-22 November 2011, Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts, Switzerland

http://www.bpmn-workshop.org/

BACKGROUND

The Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) standard experiences a huge uptake in both academia and industry. It is seen by many as the de-facto standard for business process modeling, analysis, and execution. It?s promise of being one language for Business and IT has made it very popular with business analysts, tool vendors, practitioners, and end users. Dozens of standard implementations are listed on the OMG website.

After two successful workshops in Vienna, Austria and Potsdam, Germany, this third workshop brings together researchers and practitioners to discuss and present the latest developments around BPMN.

TOPICS

We invite researchers and practitioners to contribute to the workshop on practical and theoretical aspects of the BPMN standard, addressing or going beyond one of the following topics:

BPMN as a modeling language
process modeling methodologies
modeling best practices and practical language subsets
modeling extensions and language profiles
consistency between BPMN collaboration, conversation, and choreography models
integration with other modeling languages and language comparisons
gaps in the language and open challenges
integration of business vocabularies and business rules
quality of BPMN models and model verification


Practical experience with BPMN
Successful business process management with BPMN
Addressing different stakeholder needs in BPMN
Experience with subsets of the standard notation on real projects
BPMN beyond modeling: process reengineering and optimization
Bridging the Business-IT gap: Does BPMN deliver on its promise?
BPMN for specific sectors: healthcare, industry, government, ?


BPMN tools and runtimes
Success stories, gaps and challenges
Collaborative modeling


BPMN for business analysis
simulation and business insight
understanding of BPMN diagrams across different stakeholders
process optimization
process monitoring and improvement


BPMN for process execution
aspects of the BPMN execution semantics

Future directions of BPMN



IMPORTANT DATES

Paper submission deadline: 30 June 2011
Author notification: 5 August 2011
Camera-ready copy: 5 September 2011

CONTRIBUTIONS AND SUBMISSION PROCEDURE

We invite three types of contributions to the workshop: scientific papers, practical experience reports and tool demos.

Scientific papers must present unpublished work that is not being considered in another forum, but can present unfinished research. They should clearly establish their research contribution and relation to previous research. Authors are requested to prepare submissions in English of no more than 15 pages as closely as possible to the final camera-ready version following the Springer LNBIP instructions for authors available from Springer: http://www.springer.com/series/7911. Electronic submission of manuscripts (in PDF) is required via EasyChair: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bpmn2011. Submitted papers will be evaluated by an international program committee on the basis of their significance to the workshop topics, originality, and technical quality.

Practical experience reports can be submitted in one of two forms. Either a title and a summary of approximately 400 words can be submitted in English or in German by email to r.m.dijkman@tue.nl; or a short paper of no more than 6 pages can be submitted for inclusion in the paper proceedings. Practitioner reports must be written by at least one author from practice and must reflect on how well BPMN worked for a particular organization. They will be evaluated by an international program committee on the extent to which lessons can be learned to improve BPMN. Short papers must be formatted in English as closely as possible to the final camera-ready version following the Springer LNBIP instructions for authors available from Springer: http://www.springer.com/series/7911. Electronic submission of manuscripts (in PDF) is required via EasyChair: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bpmn2011.

Tool demos can be submitted in one of two forms. Either a title and a summary of approximately 400 words can be submitted in English or in German by email to r.m.dijkman@tue.nl; or a short paper of no more than 6 pages can be submitted for inclusion in the paper proceedings. Tool demo papers should clearly establish a research contribution and relation to previous research. They will be evaluated by an international program committee on the basis of their significance to the workshop topics, originality, and technical quality. Short papers must be formatted in English as closely as possible to the final camera-ready version following the Springer LNBIP instructions for authors available from Springer: http://www.springer.com/series/7911. Electronic submission of manuscripts (in PDF) is required via EasyChair: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bpmn2011.

Papers selected for this workshop will be published in the regular BPMN 2011 proceedings in Springer's Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing (LNBIP). At least one author is required to attend the workshop and present the paper. Presentations and demos will be listed with title and abstract in the workshop brochure. Presentations of the speakers selected for the workshop will be video-recorded and speeches will be available on the workshop webpage after the workshop depending on agreement of the speakers to the publication of their speeches.
