* Aims and rationale
The BPMM track aims at gathering researchers and practitioners around
enterprise-relevant research topics with specifical interest on
modeling-based approaches and techniques, specifically focused on business
processes.
In particular, we recognize that Business Process Management, while largely
building upon Process Modeling for many aspects, is still a quite separate
discipline and gathers a different community of researchers with respect to
modeling-oriented activities, both for enterprise-wide modeling approaches in
general, but even for the specific case of business process modeling.
For this track we seek contributions in the areas of well known business
process modeling techniques, as well as modeling approaches specifically
targeting multi-perspective enterprise and business modeling, IT & business
modeling and goals alignment, tackling both technical (languages, systems,
patterns, tools) and social (collaboration, human-in-the-loop) issues.
We seek original, unpublished contributions that are mainly focused on, but
not necessarily limited to, the following topics:
- Models and architectures based on the abstraction of processes, services and events
- Business Process Modeling
- Business Process Management
- Business Process Management and Social Software
- Semantic Business Processes
- Collaborative Process Management
- Collaborative Process Modeling
- Adaptive Case Management and other non-workflow approaches to BPM
- Modelling patterns for processes and business
- Enterprise Architecture
- Model-driven approaches
- Complex event processing
- Process performance monitoring, assessment, and control
- Business process improvement
* Proceedings and Post-Proceedings
Papers accepted for the Business Process Management & Enterprise Architecture
track will be published by ACM both in the SAC 2020 proceedings and in the
ACM Digital Library.
Paper registration is required, allowing the inclusion of the paper/poster in
the conference proceedings. An author or a proxy attending ACM SAC MUST
present the paper: This is a requirement for the paper/poster to be included
in the ACM/IEEE digital library. No-show of scheduled papers and posters will
result in excluding them from the ACM/IEEE digital library
* Student Research Competition (SRC) Program
Graduate students are invited to submit research abstracts (maximum of 4
pages in ACM camera-ready format) following the instructions published at
SAC 2020 website. Submission of the same abstract to multiple tracks is not
allowed.
All research abstract submissions will be reviewed by researchers and
practitioners with expertise in the track focus area to which they are
submitted. Authors of selected abstracts (up to 18 students) will have the
opportunity to give poster and oral presentations of their work and compete
for three top-winning places. The SRC committee will evaluate and select
First, Second, and Third place winners. The winners will receive medals,
cash awards, and SIGAPP recognition certificates during the conference
banquet. Invited students receive SRC travel support (US$500) and are
eligible to apply to the SIGAPP Student Travel Award Program (STAP) for
additional travel support.
* Paper Submission
Original papers from the above-mentioned or other related areas will be
considered. This includes three categories of submissions:
- original and unpublished research;
- reports of innovative computing applications in the arts, sciences,
engineering, business, government, education and industry;
- reports of successful technology transfer to new problem domains.
Each submitted paper will undergo a (double) blind review process and will
be refereed by at least three referees. To ease blind review, ** you shall
remove author names from your paper before submitting it **.
Accepted papers in all categories will be published in the ACM SAC 2020
proceedings.
The camera-ready version of the accepted paper should be prepared using
the ACM format (guidelines are given on the SAC 2020 web site).
Accepted full papers should not exceed 8 pages in a double column format
(with the option, for an additional per-page fee, to add 2 more pages).
