Workshop Topics

The workshop provides a forum for academics and practitioners that share an interest in business process modeling using the Business Process Modeling Notation. Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) experiences huge uptake in both academia and industry. It is seen by many as the de-facto standard for business process modeling. It has become very popular with business analysts, tool vendors, practitioners, and end users. BPMN promises to bridge business and IT and brings process design and implemented closer together.

To bring this expressive process language to its full potential, challenging research questions have to be tackled. Papers on ongoing and completed research, as well as reports on practical applications and empirical findings are invited. Studies on the transfer of research findings obtained for other process modeling languages to BPMN are encouraged. Topics include, but are not limited to:

* BPMN and process modelling methodologies
* Consistency between BPMN model types
* Execution Semantics of BPMN
* BPMN modelling extensions and language profiles
* Verification of BPMN models
* Quality of BPMN models
* Empirical research on BPMN
* BPMN and modelling guidelines, best practices
* Integration of BPMN and other process languages
* Labelling consistency in BPMN
* Process execution aspects
* Enterprise applications and BPMN
* Service composition and BPMN
* BPMN and electronic commerce processes
* BPMN and e-government
* User experience studies
* Smart BPMN Editors
* Future directions of BPMN

Important Dates

* Paper submission deadline: May 30, 2010
* Author notification: Jun 30, 2010
* Camera-ready copy: Jul 30, 2010

Submissions

Submitted papers will be evaluated on the basis of significance, originality and technical quality. Authors are requested to prepare submissions as close as possible to final camera-ready versions following the Springer LNBIP format. Papers of up to 15 pages length are invited. They should clearly establish the research contribution and the relation to previous research.

Members of an international program committee will review all submissions. Each paper will be reviewed by three PC members guaranteeing that only papers presenting high quality and innovative research and practical issues in areas relevant to the workshop theme will be accepted.
