About the Conference

ABOUT THE BPMDS CONFERENCE:

The topics addressed by the BPMDS series are focused on business processes and their IT support. This is one of the keystones of information systems theory, and a topic that any major conference in the area of information systems needs to address, independently of the current fashion. The continued interest in this topic on behalf of the IS community is reflected by the success of the past BPMDS events, and their promotion from a workshop to a working conference.

The BPMDS series has produced thirteen events from 1998 to 2012. From 2011, BPMDS has become a two-day working conference attached to CAiSE (Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering). The basic principles of the BPMDS series:

1. BPMDS serves as a meeting place for researchers and practitioners in the areas of business development, and business applications (software) development
2. The aim of the event is mainly discussions, rather than presentations.
3. Each event has a theme that is mandatory for idea papers.
4. Each event’s results are, usually, published in a special issue of an international journal.
