In conjunction with the 8th International Conference on Business Process
Management (http://bpm2010.org)
13 September 2010
Hoboken, New Jersey, USA
Final Call for Papers - Paper submission deadline: 24 May 2010

Workshop Background and Goals:
Conscious (re)design of business processes is a powerful means for the
pro-active improvement of
process performance as well as for re-active achievement of higher process
conformance. Despite being
the most value-adding aspect of the process lifecycle, process design is
still more art than science.
Many methodologies on the subject remain vague about how to actually
derive superior process design.
The practice of business process design tends to rely on the creativity
and previous experience of
business professionals to come up with new, improved processes. Because of
the variability in creativity
levels, experience and tacit knowledge, the outcomes of such efforts are
inconsistent and can thus
undermine the potential benefits of Business Process Management (BPM)
initiatives in organizations.
The aim of this workshop is to continue the ongoing and successful
discussions of the last five BPD
workshops to further nurture a body of knowledge on the disciplined,
well-understood and
appropriately evaluated design of business processes. We have witnessed in
the previous BPD
workshops that besides research on BPD methodologies, there is a trend and
a focus on addressing
constraints in process design, user involvement, process reference models
and process design quality.
Papers that introduce innovative tools for process design, as well as
papers that address soft issues
(human aspects) and quantitative aspects (e.g. financial evaluation of
proposed process improvements),
will be particularly welcome.
We aim to bring together researchers and practitioners who have an
interest in advancing the state of
the art in process design (in contrast to process modeling or execution).
We seek contributions by
authors who wish to share their innovative ideas and insightful
observations on the subject. Two main
categories of submissions will be considered: regular papers and industry
papers.
Topics:
The workshop exclusively focuses on aspects related to process design
within the process lifecycle. This
specialization excludes the well-researched process modeling and process
execution aspects. Within
this specialized scope, topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Process design objectives
- Process inefficiencies diagnosis
- Process design methods and methodologies
- Process improvement patterns
- Process design tools
- Process design measures and evaluation
- Process design in the cloud
- Process reference models
- Process innovation
- Constraints in process design (e.g. legislative requirements, compliance)
- Process design governance
- Process design for emerging challenges (e.g. greening of processes)
- Process design in collaborative environments
- Human aspects (involvement, participation, acceptance) in process design
- Linking process design to organizational strategy and goals
- Success factors in process design
- Case studies and experiments
Proceedings and Journal fast-track:
All accepted papers will be published in Springer-Verlag workshop
proceedings as a post-proceeding
volume in their Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing (LNBIP)
series. To increase the quality
of published papers, BPD will rely on CD pre-proceedings that will include
camera-ready papers revised
by authors based on comments from the double-blind review process.
Following the paper presentation
and discussion at the workshop, a revised camera ready will be required
for publication in the LNBIP
series, which will be delivered to authors after the workshop. At least
one author for each accepted
paper must register for the workshop and present the paper. The best
papers from the presented LNBIP
proceeding submissions will be invited to the Australian Journal of
Information Systems special issue on
Business Process Management.
Paper Submission:
Prospective authors are invited to submit papers for presentation in any
of the areas listed above. Only
papers in English will be accepted, and the length of the paper must not
exceed 10 pages. All papers
must be formatted in LNCS format (see
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html for details).
The title page must contain a short abstract, a classification of the
topics covered (preferably using the
list of topics above) and must not list author details. Papers should be
submitted electronically via the
EasyChair submission system:
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bpd2010. All submissions
must be received no later than May 24th, 2010, and must be in PDF format.
