1st Workshop on Resource Management in Business Processes (ReMa) - http://ai.wu.ac.at/rema2016/

In conjunction with BPM, 18-22 November 2016, Rio di Janeiro, Brazil


IMPORTANT DATES:

Paper submission: May 27, 2016
Notification: June 27, 2016
Camera ready: July 18, 2016
Workshop: September 19, 2016


PURPOSE OF THE WORKSHOP:

Several communities conduct research in the area of resource management, e.g. the agent-, the BPM- or the cyberphysical-systems communities. Thus, different approaches exist to model organizational structures and to handle the way in which resources are designed, used and analyzed. Furthermore, new disruptive technologies and business models such as the Internet of Things, Social Compute Units, Crowdsourcing platforms and the emergence of Business-Process-as-a-Service (BPaaS) have created new opportunities and challenges for resource management in both intra- and inter-organizational scenarios throughout all the phases of the business process lifecycle.

The goal of this workshop is to explore resource management in business processes from different perspectives and scenarios, including both intra-organizational processes with intensive resource needs, and inter-organizational collaborations where organizations outsource process activities that involve resource-related requirements for individual or collaborative work execution.


TOPICS OF INTEREST:

The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- Resource design in intra- and inter-organizational processes
- Resource modeling in intra- and inter-organizational processes
- Resource selection and assignment in intra- and inter-organizational processes
- Resource allocation in intra- and inter-organizational processes
- Resource analysis in intra- and inter-organizational processes
- Resource-aware process matching
- Models, languages and methods for resource management in intra- and inter-
organizational processes
- Risk management, compliance and governance in resource-aware intra- and inter-
organizational processes
- Performance analysis in resource-aware intra- and inter-organizational processes
- Work-as-a-Service (WaaS)
- Social computing, human computation and crowdsourcing for distributed work
- Resource prioritization in intra- and inter-organizational processes
