2nd International Workshop on Data and Artifact-Centric BPM (DAB'2013)
In conjunction with the 11th International Conference on Business Process Management (BPM'2013)
Beijing, China, 26 August 2013

Traditionally, researchers in the field of Business Process Management (BPM) have focused on studying control-flow aspects of business processes independently of data aspects. This separation of concerns has enabled the development of various foundational theories and methods for BPM. However, the limits of theories and methods built on this separation of concerns are now becoming evident, particularly with the increasing pressure to support flexible business processes, where control-flow is often intermingled with data.

In recent years, various approaches have emerged that emphasize the integration of data and control as key pillars to support the specification, analysis and enactment of flexible and rich business processes. From the scientific as well as the practical viewpoint, it is critical to study the fundamental relationships, characteristics and properties of these emerging integrated perspectives, where data and processes are considered together.

The DAB workshop aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners whose common interests and experience are in the study and development of data- and artifact- centric approaches to BPM.

We solicit papers that investigate the tight interplay between data and control flow in business processes, for example on the following topics:
- Integrated data and process modeling
- Artifact-centric process modeling
- Declarative and constraint-based process modeling
- Data-centric flexible process management
- Case management
- Data-centric collaborative business processes
- Mining data-enriched process models
- Data-centric conformance and compliance management
- Integrated data and process management on the Cloud
- Composition and discovery of data-centric processes
- Analysis of data-centric/artifact-centric processes
- Data-centric process monitoring and performance management
- Case studies and empirical studies on Data- & Artifact- centric BPM

All workshop papers will be published by Springer as a post-workshop proceedings volume in the series Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing (LNBIP).
