Call For Paper: CBPM13
1st International Workshop on
Context for Business Process Management
held with CONTEXT-2013<http://www.polytech.univ-savoie.fr/?context2013>
Conference
Annecy, Haute-Savoie, France, October 28-29, 2013

Goals
The goal of the workshop is to promote the role of context in business process
management (BPM) by discussing (1) what the context community can bring to BPM
community, including business and scientific workflow management; and (2) What
are the challenges of BPM and workflow system that BPM community think context
(context-based, context-aware, etc.) may solve. We arelooking for extension of
business processes and workflows like context-based BPM, context-based
workflow, and if possible,contextualized workflow.
Technical issues addressed
BPM has been referred to as a "holistic management" approach to aligning an
organization's business processes with the needs of users. It promotes business
effectiveness and efficiency while striving for innovation, flexibility, and
integration with technology.However, the challenge for a large use of business
process is the failure in addressing both the dynamic execution environment
(i.e. grid and cloud) and the elastic requirement of users (i.e., logic of
use). Two lines of research emerge to address this problem. Upstream,
researchers try to make explicit the contextualization process in designing
flexible and elastic business process forprocess optimization and reuse.
Downstream, new technology such as cloud computing could bring a promising
orchestration ofbusiness process but suppose a revision of BPM architecture.
The technical issues to be addressed are: Where context may intervene for
operationalizing business process? What must be the impact of context in the
design of business process? What would be a context-aware BPM? How must
intervene context on BPM in the cloud? What kinds of context constraints and
middleware should be integrated with the business process? Recognizing the
interdisciplinary nature of BPM, the workshop also encourages submissions that
embrace other disciplines such as Workflow Management, Information Systems and
IT Management, Data and Knowledge Management, Web/Software Engineering,
Service-Oriented Computing, Social Computing, Big Data, etc. The key criteria
for acceptance are excellence and answering challenges specific to the field of
context for BPM and even in the cloud computing paradigm.
The workshop solicits original papers on a broad range of topics, including but
not limited to:
Context and BPM/workflow: concepts and theory, e.g.
Context-centric flexibility, adaptability and evolution in BPM
Context-based BPM as a Service or Workflow as a Service
Knowledge and reasoning representation for business process
Security, privacy and trust in Context-based BPM
Other socio-technical aspects of BPM/workflow
Context-aware business process/workflow, e.g.
Context for Mobile and Ubiquitous applications
Context-aware BPM for Authentication, Authorisation and Accounting
Context-aware recommendation process
Context for dynamic selection of web services
Context-based cloud workflows and applications, e.g.
Context-based scientific workflows in the cloud
Decision support systems for cloud-based BPM
People-/knowledge-intensive process
Crowdsourcing and process based on social networks
Context as constraints for workflow design, execution and
scheduling, e.g.
Automatic workflow verification and generation with context constraints
Context-based load balancing of workflow engines
Context and Quality-of-Service constraints for workflow design
Context-based process mining
Submissions
Workshop submission will be electronic, in pdf format only. Submitted papers
must not exceed 12 pages and should conform to Springer LNCS style (see below).
Submissions should include authors names and affiliation and full references.
At least one author of each accepted paper must register for the workshop and
the main conference, and present the contribution at the workshop in order to
be published in the workshop proceedings. Detailed formatting and submissions
instructions, as well as LaTeX and Word templates, can be accessed through
Springer's information for LNCS
authors<http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs/lncs+authors?SGWID=0-40209-0-0-0>.
Paper submission will be handled using EasyChair:
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cbpm
Workshop proceedings
The workshop proceedings will be published as part of the CONTEXT 2013 workshop
proceedings. Selected papers will be recommended to a special issue in the
International Journal of Computational Science and Engineering (EI index).
Workshop format
The general organization of the workshop is the following. First a tutorial
will introduce BPM and cloud-computing domains and their challenges. Second,
participants will present their position statement. Three, a general discussion
will focus on proposals of the context community for the BPM community under
the cloud computing paradigm.
Review process
Three members of the program committee will review each submission. A review
form will direct reviewers to evaluate submissions for appropriateness,
technical strength, originality, presentation, and overall evaluation, as well
as recording the reviewers confidence in the topic. Each category will be
rated on a scale from 1 to 5. Furthermore, we will emphasise that reviewers
must provide constructive notes and remarks to help contributors to improve
their current and future submissions. The committee will be asked to give
extensive comments. The number of accepted papers will depend on the number of
suitable submissions. To assure sufficient discussion time, at most 12
contributions will be accepted for oral presentation, with additional poster
acceptances possible.
Important Dates
July 20, 2013 August 1st, 2013- Submission to workshops due
September 10, 2013 - Notification of workshop paper acceptance
October 1, 2013 - Camera-ready submission
