CALL FOR PAPERS
First International Workshop on Business Process Management and Social
Software (BPMS2)
in conjunction with BPM 2008
September 1st, 2008, Milan, Italy
Papers submission deadline: May 23, 2008

SCOPE:
Social software is a new paradigm which is spreading quickly in the
society, organisations and economics. Social software is software that
triggers mechanisms of sociality by providing support for social practices,
experiences, identity and production. Users are supported in creating new
contacts, presenting themselves and collaborating with other users. As a
result, content, knowledge and software is not created by a hierarchy of
experts, but by combining a multitude of contributions of independent
authors/actors. Examples for such a social production are wikis, blogs,
social bookmarking and tagging, etc.
Social software follows a more egalitarian and meritocratic approach
compared to traditional approaches where the role of the software user is
determined by the enterprise senior management and its representatives.
Thus, trust and reputation play a crucial role in the use of social
software instead of authority granted by the top management.
The paradigm of social software and social production has created a
multitude of success stories such as wikipedia.org and the development of
the Linux operating system. Therefore, more and more enterprises see social
software and social production as a means for further improvement of their
business processes and business models. For example, they integrate their
customers into product development by using blogs to capture ideas for new
products and features. Thus, business processes have to be adapted to new
communication patterns between customers and the enterprise: for example,
the communication with the customer is increasingly a bi-directional
communication with the customer and among the customers. Social software
also offers new possibilities to enhance business processes by improving
the exchange of knowledge and information, to speed up decisions, etc.
Up to now, the interaction of social software and the underlying paradigm
of social production with business processes have not been investigated in
depth. Therefore, the objective of the workshop is to explore how social
software and social production interact with business process management,
how business process management has to change to comply with social
production, and how business processes may profit from social techniques.
TOPICS OF INTEREST:
1. Alignment of Business Processes to Social Production
- How can business processes be aligned to business models following the
paradigm of social software and production?
- Which concepts and methods are necessary to align business processes to
business models using social software?
2. New possibilities for business processes by social software
- Which new possibilities for the design of business processes are created
by social software?
- How are trust and reputation established in business processes using
social software?
- Are there business processes which require sociality, especially when
they are not well defined (as production workflows) but collaborative or ad
hoc?
- How does social production influence the design of business processes?
- Which kinds of social production have to be supported by business process
management?
- What is the impact on conceptual models for those categories of business
processes which are not well-defined or that we do not wish to freeze using
classical business process enactment systems for instance?
3. Social Software and BPM
- Do we need new BPM methods and/or paradigms to cope with social software?
- Is there an influence of social production and social software on BPM
methods themselves?
- Are there any similarities or relationships with process mining
techniques and also with workflow control and role patterns?
- Which phases of the BPM lifecycle (Design, Deployment, Performance,
Evaluation) are affected the most by social software?
- How can BPM profit from using social software?
- Which types of social software can be used in which phases of the BPM
lifecycle?
4. Implementation support by social software
- Which kinds of social software can be used to implement business processes?
- Which categories of business processes can profit from social software?
- How does social software interact with WFMS or other business process
support systems?
- How can we use Wikis, Blogs etc. to support business processes?
- What new kinds of business knowledge representation are offered by social
production?
SUBMISSION:
Prospective workshop participants are invited to submit a position paper
related to one or more of the main topics.
Position papers of up to 2500 words are sought. Position papers that raise
relevant questions, or describe successful or unsuccessful practice, or
describe experience will all be welcome. Position papers will be assigned a
20 minute presentation.
Short papers of up to 1000 words can also be submitted, and will be
assigned a 10 minutes presentation.
The paper selection will be based upon the relevance of a paper to the main
topics, as well as upon its quality and potential to generate relevant
discussion.
Papers should be emailed to Rainer.Schmidt at htw-aalen.de
EXPECTED RESULTS:
All papers will be published on workshop wiki before the workshop, so that
everybody can learn about the problems that are important for other
participants.
A blog will be used to encourage and support discussions.
The workshop will consist of long and short paper presentations,
brainstorming sessions and discussions.
The workshop report will be created collaboratively using a wiki.
The best paper of the workshop can be submitted for a special issue of the
