International Workshop on Emerging Topics in Business Process Management a joint workshop of BPMC 2013, EdBPM 2013, and BPD 2013 in conjunction with BPM 2013, August 27-30 2013 Beijing, China, August 26, 2013 http://projects.aifb.kit.edu/bpmc2013/
Workshop Program Venue: Xijiao Hotel, Beijing 1st International Workshop on Business Process Management in the Cloud Cloud computing
is a new paradigm for the on-demand delivery of infrastructure, platform, or software
as a service. Cloud computing enables network access to
a shared pool of configurable computing and storage resources as well as
applications which can be tailored to the consumer’s needs. They can be rapidly
provisioned and released and are billed based on actual use, thus reducing
investment costs. Not only can individual services be
hosted on virtual infrastructures but also complete process platforms. Further,
besides benefits to run-time Business Process Management (BPM), during design-time
cloud-based services can enable collaboration between geographically dispersed
teams and assist the design process in general – amongst others, Process Modelling
as a Service removes the need for installation of software, and is thus more
attractive for the occasional user. A cloud-based architecture for BPM may provide important benefits: Among a number
of challenges, there is a lack of conceptualization and theory on BPM with
respect to cloud computing. For the most part, the topic of cloud computing has
only been implicitly regarded in BPM research when discussing design-time
tools. However, a detailed research agenda which covers theory, design-time, run-time,
and use cases is missing. The goal of the 1st International Workshop
on Business Process Management in the Cloud is to lay the foundation for such a
research agenda. Topics Authors are
invited to submit novel contributions in the above mentioned problem domain.
Specifically, the relevant topics include, but are not
limited to: ·
Cloud and BPM: concepts
and theory, e.g. ·
Design-time BPM in
the cloud, e.g. ·
Run-time BPM in the cloud,
e.g. ·
Use cases for BPM in
the cloud, e.g. Submission The following
types of submission are solicited: Papers should be submitted in LNBIP format. Papers have to
present original research contributions not concurrently submitted elsewhere.
The title page must contain a short abstract, a classification of the topics
covered, preferably using the list of topics above, and an indication of the
submission category (Full Paper/ Short Paper/ Use case). Papers can be uploaded via the submission system: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bpmc13 Important Dates Deadline paper
submissions: Notification of
acceptance: Camera-ready papers
due: 23 July 2013 Workshop: 26 August
2013 Format of the Workshop The workshop is
planned as a half-day event, including a keynote, paper presentations, and a
moderated, open discussion with the clear goal of agreeing upon a research roadmap
for business process management and the cloud research, by taking into account
new challenges as described earlier. For the keynote,
we aim at a speaker who will give a rather visionary view on the role of BPM in
the Cloud. A clear objective of the closing discussion is to yield a first
draft of a respective research agenda. Organizing Committee Christian Janiesch
