---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------- Dear colleagues (with apologies for cross-posting), you are invited to submit papers for the 5th International Workshop on Event-Driven Business Process Management to be held alongside the Busines Process Management Conference on August 29th 2011 in Clermont-Ferrand, France <Event-Driven Business Process Management> (EDBPM) is an enhancement of Business Process Management (BPM) by new concepts of Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), Event Driven Architecture (EDA), Software as a Service (SaaS), Business Activity Monitoring (BAM) and Complex Event Processing (CEP). In this context, BPM means a software platform which provides companies the ability to model, manage, and optimize these processes for significant gain. As an independent system, CEP is a parallel running platform that analyses and processes events. The BPM- and the CEP-platform correspond via events which are produced by the BPM-workflow engine and by the - if distributed -- IT services which are associated with the business process steps. Also events coming from different event sources in different forms can trigger a business process or influence the execution of the process or a service, which can result in another event. Even more, the correlation of these events in a particular context can be treated as a complex, business level event, relevant for the execution of other business processes or services closing the loop of insight-to-action. A business process - arbitrarily fine or coarse grained - can be seen as a service again and can be "choreographed" with other business processes or services, even between different enterprises and organisations. Loosely coupled event-driven architecture for BPM provides important benefits: . Responsiveness. Events can occur at any time from any source and processes respond to them immediately, whenever they happen and wherever they happen. . Agility. New processes can be modeled, implemented, deployed, and optimized more quickly in response to changing business requirements. . Flexibility. Processes can span heterogeneous platforms and programming languages. Participating applications can be upgraded or changed without breaking the process model. TOPICS Authors are invited to submit novel contributions in the above mentioned problem domain. Specifically, the relevant topics include, but are not limited to: . Event-driven BPM: Concepts e.g. role of event processing in BPM, business events: types and representation, vent stream processing in business processes, process event processing in CEP, data- and event-driven business processes, event and process interaction patterns . Design-time CEP and BPM e.g. modelling modelling events in human-oriented tasks, semantics/ontologies for event-driven BPM, BPMN and event processing, interaction modelling of process model and event processing network. . Run-time CEP and BPM e.g. event pattern detection, BPEL and event processing, reasoning about unknown/ similar events . Applications/ Use use cases for event-driven BPM e.g. event-driven monitoring/ BAM , event-driven SLA monitoring, context-aware BPM The Workshop is planned as a full-day event, including a keynote, paper presentations, lightning talks, demos, posters, and a moderated, open discussion with the clear goal of agreeing upon a research roadmap for event-driven Business Process Management research, by taking into account new challenges, described earlier. SUBMISSION The following types of submission are solicited: . Long paper submissions, describing substantial contributions of novel ongoing work. Long papers should be at most 12 pages long. . Short paper submissions, describing work in progress. These papers should be at most 6 pages long. . Use case submissions, describing results from an edBPM use case. These papers should be at most 4 pages long. Papers should be submitted in the new LNBIP format (http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-7-487211-0). Papers have to present original research contributions not concurrently submitted elsewhere. The title page must contain a short abstract, a classification of the topics covered, preferably using the list of topics above, and an indication of the submission category (Long Paper/ Short Paper / Use case). Papers can be uploaded via the workshop page on easychair, the address can be found on the workshop homepage. Papers will be published in the postconference proceeding (Springer Verlag) IMPORTANT DATES Deadline paper submissions: May 6, 2011 Notification of acceptance: June 2, 2011 Camera-ready papers: June 17, 2011 Workshops: August 29, 2011 ORGANISING COMMITTEE: Dr. Nenad Stojanovic FZI - Research Center for Information Technologies at the University of Karlsruhe Germany Nenad.Stojanovic@fzi.de Dr. Opher Etzion Senior Technical Staff Member, Master Inventor Event Processing Scientific Leader IBM Research Lab in Haifa OPHER@il.ibm.com Prof. Dr. Adrian Paschke Corporate Semantic Web, Free University Berlin, Germany and RuleML Inc., Canada paschke@inf-fu-berlin.de Dr. Christian Janiesch Senior Researcher SAP Research Center Brisbane Australia Christianc.Jjaniesch@sap.com Additional information A complete overview about relevant topics, detailed workshop information and contact addresses can be found on the workshop website http://icep-edbpm11.fzi.de ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------
