*Goals*
The goal of the workshop is to promote the role of context in business
process management (BPM) by discussing (1)what the context community can
bring to BPM community, including business and scientific workflow
management; and (2) What are the challenges of BPM and workflow system that
BPM community think context (context-based, context-aware, etc.) may solve.
We are looking for extension of business processes and workflows like
context-based
BPM, context-based workflow, and if possible, contextualized workflow.
*Technical issues addressed*
BPM has been referred to as a "holistic management" approach to aligning an
organization's business processes with the needs of users. It promotes
business effectiveness and efficiency while striving for innovation,
flexibility, and integration with technology. However, the challenge for a
large use of business process is the failure in addressing both the dynamic
execution environment (i.e. grid and cloud) and the elastic requirement of
users (i.e., logic of use). Two lines of research emerge to address
this problem.
Upstream, researchers try to make explicit the contextualization process in
designing flexible and elastic business process for process optimization
and reuse.Downstream, new technology such as cloud computing could bring a
promising orchestration of business processbut suppose a revision of BPM
architecture.
The technical issues to be addressed are:* *Where context may intervene for
operationalizing business process? What must be the impact of context in
the design of business process? What would be a context-aware BPM? How must
intervene context on BPM in the cloud? What kinds of context constraints
and middleware should be integrated with the business process? Recognizing
the interdisciplinary nature of BPM, the workshop also encourages
submissions that embrace other disciplines such as Workflow Management,
Information Systems and IT Management, Data and Knowledge Management,
Web/Software Engineering, Service-Oriented Computing, Social Computing, Big
Data, etc. The key criteria for acceptance are excellence and answering
challenges specific to the field of context for BPM and even in the cloud
computing paradigm.
The workshop solicits original papers on a broad range of topics, including
but not limited to:
· Context and BPM/workflow: concepts and theory, e.g.
ü Context-centric flexibility, adaptability and evolution in BPM
ü Context-based BPM as a Service or Workflow as a Service
ü Knowledge and reasoning representation for business process
ü Security, privacy and trust in Context-based BPM
ü Other socio-technical aspects of BPM/workflow
· Context-aware business process/workflow, e.g.
ü Context for Mobile and Ubiquitous applications
ü Context-aware BPM for Authentication, Authorisation and Accounting
ü Context-aware recommendation process
ü Context for dynamic selection of web services
· Context-based cloud workflows and applications, e.g.
ü Context-based scientific workflows in the cloud
ü Decision support systems for cloud-based BPM
ü People-/knowledge-intensive process
ü Crowdsourcing and process based on social networks
· Context as constraints for workflow design, execution and
scheduling, e.g.
ü Automatic workflow verification and generation with context constraints
ü Context-based load balancing of workflow engines
ü Context and Quality-of-Service constraints for workflow design
ü Context-based process mining
*Submissions***
Workshop submission will be electronic, in pdf format only. Submitted
papers must not exceed 12 pages and should conform to Springer LNCS style
(see below). Submissions should include authors’ names and affiliation and
full references. At least one author of each accepted paper must register
for the workshop and the main conference, and present the contribution at
the workshop in order to be published in the workshop proceedings. Detailed
formatting and submissions instructions, as well as LaTeX and Word
templates, can be accessed through Springer's information for LNCS

*Workshop proceedings*
The workshop proceedings will be published as part of the CONTEXT 2013
workshop proceedings. Selected papers will be recommended to a special
issue in the International Journal of Computational Science and Engineering
(EI indexed).
*Workshop format***
The general organization of the workshop is the following. First a tutorial
will introduce BPM and cloud-computing domains and their challenges.
Second, participants will present their position statement. Three, a
general discussion will focus on proposals of the context community for the
BPM community under the cloud computing paradigm.
*Review process*
Three members of the program committee will review each submission. A
review form will direct reviewers to evaluate submissions for
appropriateness, technical strength, originality, presentation, and overall
evaluation, as well as recording the reviewer’s confidence in the topic.
Each category will be rated on a scale from 1 to 5. Furthermore, we will
emphasise that reviewers must provide constructive notes and remarks to
help contributors to improve their current and future submissions. The
committee will be asked to give extensive comments. The number of accepted
papers will depend on the number of suitable submissions. To assure
sufficient discussion time, at most 12 contributions will be accepted for
oral presentation, with additional poster acceptances possible.
*Important Dates***
· July 20, 2013 - Submission to workshops due
· September 10, 2013 - Notification of workshop paper acceptance
· October 1, 2013 - Camera-ready submission
· October 28 or 29, 2013 - Workshop sessions
