Call for Papers
10th International Conference on Business Process Management (BPM 2012)
Tallinn, Estonia, 3-6 September 2012
http://bpm2012.ut.ee/
BPM 2012 is the tenth conference in a series that provides the most prestigious
forum for researchers and practitioners in the field of Business Process
Management.
Over the past decade, the conference has built its reputation by showcasing
leading-edge research of the highest quality together with talks, tutorials and
discussions by the most renown thought leaders and innovators in the field. The
BPM conference series embraces the diversity and richness of the BPM field and
serves as a melting pot for experts from a mix of disciplines including
Computer Science, Information Systems Management, Technology Management and
Services Science.
BPM 2012 will continue to foster research on the broad-based themes covered in
earlier editions of the conference. Moreover, BPM 2012 encourages submissions
in emerging fields of research and seeks to strengthen the relation to related
research areas or fields of application. This includes research on models and
methods that unify process management with data and business rules management.
The conference also encourages contributions that apply or combine established
and new techniques, such as Model-Driven Architecture, Web engineering,
Service-Oriented Architectures, and Cloud Computing, to the specific challenges
of BPM.
In addition to a research track, BPM 2012 also features an industrial track.
Industry practitioners are encouraged to submit experience and application
papers reporting on innovative industrial implementations and applications of
business process management methods and techniques, with a particular focus on
their impact on business practice. These papers should present industrial
solutions that go beyond prototypes or "potentially applicable" methods, and
are based on industrial experiences or empirical data.
Awards will be given to the best papers in different categories. In addition,
selected papers will be invited to submit extended versions to a special issue
of the journal of Information Systems published by Elsevier.
BPM 2012 will take place in Tallinn, Estonia. Tallinn is a progressive and
dynamic city with a milenary history. Tallinn offers all the infrastructure and
facilities of a global technology hub, combined with highly attractive tourism
opportunities. The picturesque Tallinn Old Town, included in the UNESCO World
Heritage List, is a unique pearl of medieval architecture, considered as one of
the most intact medieval city centres in the world.
