Workshop Topics

The workshop provides a forum for academics and pracitioners that share an interest in business process modeling using the Business Process Modeling Notation. The Business Process Modelling Notation (BPMN) has seen a huge uptake in both academia and industry and already is the de-facto standard for business process modelling. It has become very popular with business analysts, tool vendors, practitioners and end users. BPMN promises to bridge business and IT and brings as designed and as implemented closer together. While BPMN evolves and usage increases, a number of research questions around BPMN arise. Papers on ongoing and completed research, state of the art surveys, and reports on practical application, and empirical findings are invited. The workshop aims to identify current research directions as well as industry trends. Topics include, but are not limited to:

  • BPMN and process modelling,
  • Semantics of the BPMN language,
  • BPMN modelling extensions and language profiles
  • Verification of BPMN models,
  • Quality of BPMN models,
  • Empirical research on BPMN,
  • BPMN and modelling guidelines,
  • Integration of BPMN and other process languages,
  • Semantic aspects in BPMN,
  • BPMN and process execution,
  • BPMN and enterprise applications (e.g., ERP),
  • BPMN and service composition,
  • BPMN and electronic commerce,
  • BPMN and e-government,
  • Tools for BPMN,
  • Future directions of BPMN
  • Levels of Modeling in BPMN (business, technical)

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 IEEE format. The workshop proceedings will be published by IEEE Computer Society. Papers of up to 8 pages length are invited. They should clearly establish the research contribution and the relation to previous research. The submission should clearly emphasize the discussion aspects relevant to the workshop. 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.
