Emerging Computing Technologies and Trends for Business Process Management (ECT4BPM)

Business Process Management (BPM) allows controlling an organization’s processes. This discipline allows analyzing, modeling, monitoring, executing, and managing efficient and effective business processes. It aims to align the Business process activities with the need of the client and making the organization more flexible, automated, and powerful. However, different new challenges appear related, for example, to the complexity of a large-scale BPM and the adaptation of business operations to ensure customer growth and engagement.

There is a variety of new emerging computing technologies and trends (e.g., cloud/edge, IoT, and blockchain) that can be used and applied in the different steps of business process management (e.g., monitoring and executing). They allow to achieve new goals and help to make smarter decisions. This track examines the blend of these emerging trends and technologies with BPM in terms of issues undermining this blend, solutions achieving this blend, and recommendations sustaining this blend.

This track encourages high-quality research and industrial papers that describe contributions related to applying new and emerging technologies in business process management.

This track seeks to serve as an annual venue that will enable the discussion on the trends, challenges and developments of Blockchain technology. In doing so, it aims to speed up the study and accelerate the adoption of this technology.
