[ our apologies should you receive this
message more than one time ] 4th International Workshop on
Event-Driven Business Process Management collocated with BPM 2010 Hoboken, NJ, USA from September 13-16,
2010 http://www.bpm2010.org/conference-events/workshops/edbpm10/ Introduction -------------------------- The recently coined term «Event-Driven
Business Process Management» (EDBPM) is nowadays an enhancement of 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 a 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. 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 organizations. Loosely coupled event-driven
architecture for BPM provides significant 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. Workshop Themes -------------------------- Authors are invited to submit novel
contributions in the prior described problem domain. * Event-driven BPM:
Concepts
o Role of event processing in BPM
o Business Events: types and representation
o Event stream processing in business processes
o Data- and event-driven business processes
o Evaluation/ROI of event-driven BPM
o Event-driven SOA
o EDA and BPM
o Real/time awareness in BPM
o Context in BPM * Design-time CEP and
BPM
o Modelling languages, notations and methods for event-driven BPM
o Event Patterns: Definition / Creation / Representation / Learning
o BPMN and event processing
o Modelling unknown/similar events in business processes
o Modelling events in human-oriented tasks
o Semantics/Ontologies for event-driven BPM
o Publish/subscription mechanism and process modelling * Run-time CEP and
BPM
o Event pattern detection
o BPEL and event processing
o Reasoning about unknown/similar events
o Distributed event processing
o Dynamic workflows
o Ad-hoc workflows * Applications/Use
cases for event-driven BPM
o Event-driven
monitoring/BAM
o Event-driven SLA monitoring
o Domains: Logistics, Automotive, …
o Event processing and Internet of Services Workshop Format -------------------------- 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. A possible agenda: * 9:00 – 9:30 Opening
and Keynote * 9:30 – 13:00 Paper
Presentations * 13:00 – 14:00 Lunch * 14:00 – 15:00 Lightning
Talks * 15:30 – 17:00
Moderated Community Discussion: A Roadmap for Event-driven Business Process Management
Research * 18:00 – 21:00
Poster and Demo Presentations and Get-Together For the keynote, we aim at a
high-profile speaker, who will give a rather visionary view on the role of Future
Internet for BPM and vice versa. For the moderated community discussion, we
will have senior experts from our Program Committee and Experts from an
industrial background. A clear objective of that discussion is to yield
a first draft of a respective research agenda. Important Dates -------------------------- Deadline paper submissions: 21 May
2010 Notification of acceptance: 30 June 2010 Camera-ready papers: 25 July 2010 Workshops: 13 September 2010 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
submission, 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). For submission, please visit http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=edbpm10. Organizing Committee -------------------------- Nenad Stojanovic FZI – Research Center for Information
