Enabling Business Transformation by Business Process Modeling, Development, and Support(BPMDS 2017)
12-13 June 2017, Essen, Germany
Call for Papers:
BPMDS solicits papers related to Business Process Modeling, Development and Support (BPMDS) using quality, relevance, originality and applicability as main selection criteria. As a working conference, BPMDS’17 seeks to attract full research papers describing mature research, experience reports related to using BPMDS in practice, and visionary idea papers. Practitioners are also encouraged to present lessons learned from practice.
Though only idea papers should mandatory be devoted to the focus team, BPMDS 2016 welcomes other submissions devoted to this theme as well, i.e. experience reports and research paper. In any case, a submitted paper should be relevant to business process modeling, development and support. Note that BPMDS is not a general purpose BPM conference, which means that such topics as adoption of BPM in a specific region normally lie outside the scope of this conference. Also, we strive after papers that are or have a potential to become applicable in practice. Pure formal papers may lie outside the scope of the conference. In case of doubt whether a paper is suitable to the conference, do not hesitate contacting the organizers.
