 Call for Papers

The economic success of an enterprise more and more depends on its ability to flexibly and quickly react to changes, e.g., in its market, technology or legal environment. For this reason companies are developing a growing interest in new concepts, systems, and solutions which help them to flexibly align their organization and their business processes to new requirements and to optimize interactions with customers and business partners. While there has been major progress in disciplines that are interested in structured and unstructured business processes, the agile enterprise is still a vision. Agility in this context refers to the ability of an enterprise to rapidly set up new business processes and projects in order to quickly adapt to changes in the environment and aligning its existing information systems to support them. In order to meet its business objectives, the agile enterprise continuously re-aligns its business processes as well as the interactions with its partners and customers to meet the current requirements.

The goal of this workshop is to bring together practitioners and researchers from different communities such as BPM, software engineering, artificial intelligence, and CSCW/Groupware who share an interest in flexibility of process-aware information systems and team support. The workshop aims at discussing the current state of ongoing research and sharing practical experiences.
Submitted papers will be evaluated on the basis of significance, originality and technical quality. Papers should clearly establish the research contribution and the relation to previous research.

The workshop will also provide opportunity for demonstration sessions, where participant can present advanced prototypes based on their research. Workshop topics include on the one hand:

  • adaptive processes,
  • agile management of business processes,
  • case handling,
  • configurable processes,
  • dynamic composition of processes,
  • emergent workflows,
  • knowledge-intensive processes,
  • process-aware groupware,
  • process evolution,
  • workflow escalation and compliance management,
  • process mining and learning,
  • workflow flexibility,
and, on the other hand, solutions related to these topics in terms of:
  • architectures,
  • methods and tools,
  • user interface,
  • policy management,
  • security,
  • semantics.
