WoGo 2007 Call for Papers (Word, 54Kb)
BPM Governance is becoming an important part of BPM as organizations look for greater gains from BPM and seek to extend the BPM philosophy across the company. As this shift happens, several questions arise on the management of BPM programs and projects and their impact on the way organizations operate. BPM Governance comprises topics such as process ownership, decision making processes, alignment of process goals to strategic KPIs etc. Furthermore, as the focus of BPM extends to include both process management (definition-modeling-improvement) and BPM technology (automation involving BPM technology, eg, BPM engines, rules engines, BAM etc), questions emerge on the role clarity and ownership (of different aspects of BPM) between business groups and IT. The scope of governance also addresses other aspects of making BPM successful such as, alignment with strategy, choosing and implementing the right standards and people aspects such as incentives aligned to process goals amongst others. In addition, governance sometimes extends to include decisions on the best organizational structure for managing processes.
The objective of the workshop is to throw light on this complex topic by bringing together leading academic research together with tried and tested best practices from industry. This workshop has the aim to establish a preliminary body of knowledge on BPM Governance which is impacted by established governance theories and practices, but considers the special nature of BPM.
This workshop encourages submission of papers in the following two categories:
Industry papers: Inviting practitioners to submit papers on their experience in managing relevant challenges of BPM with appropriate BPM governance approaches. Problems faced in practice are invited even if solutions are not fully defined. However, the problem situations need to be placed in context and explained with respect to the scenario.
Academic papers: Inviting academic researchers to submit papers on relevant models, approaches for BPM governance with emphasis on practical applications.
Papers should be submitted electronically via the BPM 2007 web site by uploading a self-contained PDF file. All submissions must be received no later than 8 June 2007.
Papers must be in English. Papers must be original contributions that have not been published previously, nor already submitted to other conferences/journals in parallel with this conference. The length of the paper should not exceed 16 pages. Papers should be formatted in LNCS format (see www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html for details). The title page must contain a short abstract and a classification of the topics covered, preferably using the list of topics above. The paper must clearly state the problem being addressed, the goal of the work, the results achieved, and the relation to other work. Submissions received too late, in another format than PDF and submissions sent by fax will be immediately rejected. The same will happen with papers which are not in English or exceed the page limit.
Please mark your paper category clearly (as per the categories mentioned above) so they can be appropriately reviewed by the program committee. All papers must follow the same common format requirements as research outlined above.
All accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings. For each accepted paper, at least one author should register for the workshop and plan to present the paper.
Deadline for workshop paper submissions: 8 June 2007
Notification of Acceptance: 13 July 2007
Camera-ready papers deadline: 3 August 2007
