--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fourth International Workshop on Business Process Intelligence (BPI'08) to be held in conjunction with BPM'08 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Business Process Intelligence (BPI) is an area that is quickly gaining interest and im-portance in industry and research. BPI refers to the application of various measure-ment and analysis techniques in the area of business process management. In prac-tice, BPI is embodied in tools for managing process execution quality by offering sev-eral features such as analysis, prediction, monitoring, control, and optimization. The goal of this workshop is to provide a better understanding and a more appropriate support of a company's processes at design time and the way they are handled at runtime. We aim to bring together practitioners and researchers from different com-munities such as business process management, information systems research, busi-ness administration, software engineering, artificial intelligence, and data mining who share an interest in the analysis of business processes and process-aware information systems. The workshop aims at discussing the current state of ongoing research and sharing practical experiences. The list of topics that are relevant to the BPI workshop includes the following, but is not limited to: Analysis Techniques at design time and/or runtime: - Mining of business processes - Statistical analysis in the business process management lifecycle - Reasoning related to business process - Business process visualization - Machine-learning and business processes - Measurement of business process models and business process modelling - Retrieval related to business process management - Similarity related to processes and cases - Integration of processes and process models - Mathematical optimization Applications of such analysis techniques and case studies in: - Performance Measurement of business processes - Business Process Reengineering - Business Process Quality - Emergent workflows - Process discovery - Conformance and risk management for business processes - Operations Management and Six Sigma - Data warehousing - Static and dynamic optimization - Self-management - Monitoring of business processes - Resource Allocation in business processes - Prediction - Dynamic composition of business processes Submitted papers will be evaluated on the basis of significance, originality and techni-cal quality. Authors are requested to prepare submissions as close as possible to final camera-ready versions following the LNCS/LNBIP format specified by Springer-Verlag. Papers 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 and solid program committee will review all submissions. Each paper will be reviewed by 3 PC members guaranteeing that only papers presenting high quality and innovative research and practice issues in areas relevant to the workshop theme will be accepted.
