KeynoteRoom GrandeSession Chair: Avigdor Gal
Contemporary BPM systems fit very well with traditional architectures that are based on a pull invocation principle, such as SOA. The proliferation of sensors and streams of events has lead to event driven architectures that decouple event producers and consumers. EDAs are push-based and support different control structures. Future BPM systems must therefore deal both with pull and push-based architectures. In this talk we will analyze the interplay of the different architectures, their components and the desirable and achievable correctness notions and non-functional properties. About the presenter |

PMxQM Session 1Room Bolero
Traditionally manufacturing organizations establish single-site quality management systems that are optimized to their local needs. In case of multi-site organizations or an acquisition this approach prohibits cross-site organizational learning and does not support development of customer relations. The latter comes especially evident in such cases when one customer has business with more than one site. Learn from electronics manufacturing service provider experience on how to create global business process approach that enhances communication from site to site, improves customer perception and helps to optimize resources. About the presenter Building up Process Management in the Labour Inspectorate The Estonian Labour Inspectorate has been implementing BPM for the past five years. We started from scratch and built up incrementally from one small success to another until putting in place a well-understood “process for process management”. In the presentation an overview will be given of this process, which steps were taken to develop it, positive outcomes and pain points during the development, and where we have got by now. Process Management in Finland – Best Practice and Trends This presentation focuses on the best practices and trends in managing and developing processes in the long run and, on the other hand, on how to organize development projects related to business processes.

The Business Process Management (BPM) conference series celebrates its tenth anniversary. This is a nice opportunity to reflect on a decade of BPM research. This talk will describe the history of the conference series through the prism of typical BPM use cases and six key BPM concerns: Process Modeling Languages, Process Enactment Infrastructures, Process Model Analysis, Process Mining, Process Flexibility, and Process Reuse. Although BPM has matured as a research discipline, there are still various important problems that remain open. Moreover, despite the broad interest in BPM, there is significant room for improvement when it comes to the the adoption of state-of-the-art results by software vendors, consultants, and end-users. The BPM discipline should not shy away from the key challenges and set clear targets for the next decade. About the presenter |

The Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) Standard was kicked off in 2002. It took many years to develop and then gain a place in the BPM market. Now, on version 2, BPMN is established as the major process modeling language for most BPM software tools. These tools range from descriptive process modeling to process management systems. This presentation contains a brief review of how BPMN came into being and a summary of the overall BPMN capabilities. Looking towards the future, the presentation will discuss how BPMN could be extended to handle additional process modeling challenges, such as for Case Management and the modeling of service implementations.

The improvement of business processes starts with understanding the current ‘As-Is’ processes. Instead of manually drawing process models,process mining technology can generate visualizations that show how the processes actually work in reality based on existing IT data. This new capability completely changes the way in which process analysts will work in the future. Based on a concrete case study we will show you:
About the presenter
As for many large enterprises, HP’s 300,000 employees have recently been interacting more and more over social networks. That interaction takes place over external social networks, such as facebook, twitter, linkedin, but also on enterprise social networks, such as Jive, and a home grown social network, called Watercooler. The kind of interaction that we have observed in Watercooler has had interesting aspects at the intersection of social and business. For example, employees have used Watercooler for sharing their skills, what they were working on, asking work-related questions and other such activities. That suggested to us that we evolve Watercooler into a productivity platform. Watercooler was born as the facebook of HP. I will report on our experience in turning it into the facebook apps platform of HP: a platform for quick and useful development of enterprise applications. Aspects that I will concentrate on is how we have used create apps for: flexible, ad-hoc, collaborative business processes; and crowdsourced idea management. About the presenter
The traditional way of process development is via creating a detailed model of a business process in question, acquiring an IT-system to support it, and then implementing it in the organizational practice. Acquiring a system can be via designing and manufacturing it (coding) by the business itself, or by commissioning it to somebody else. Alternatively, a generic system can be bought and configured according to the business process model created. The traditional approach has a number of risks that become visible only during the latest phase, when introducing the system in the organizational practice, i.e. the system does not fit the business and/or people who work in it. These risks could be mitigated by using an agile approach to the development of business processes. In agile approach: (a) the phases of process modeling, IT-system design, and manufacturing are merged in one, and (b) instead of using one big cycle, a series of smaller development cycles is used. The talk will discuss in which business situations the agile method is most appropriate, and what is needed to implement it. An example of a tool to support agile development will also be demonstrated. About the presenter |

Tutorial 1:Room GrandeSession Chair: Florian Daniel
There has been a significant consumer uptake in social tools for both collaboration and for interactions with companies, but many organizations still struggle to identify where social capabilities can best fit within their operational business processes. Business process management, which often has collaboration at its very core, is one of the areas that can benefit greatly from social capabilities, and for which there is now sufficient product offerings to judge the actual impact of social BPM.
Using a blend of theory, research, social BPM product examples and customer case studies, this seminar will solidify your understanding of social BPM and how it can make your business process initiatives more successful. Tutorial 2:Room BoleroSession Chair: Marcello La RosaLarge Process Models and Process Model Collections This tutorial will discuss the challenges that arise both in respect to the handling of large process models (i.e., large process model trees or complex inter-related process structures) as well as to the management of large collections of process models with related process variants. As a motivational backbone, large process models and process model collections from the automotive industry and the healthcare domain will be presented.

Tutorial 4:Room AllegroSession Chair: Claudio Bartolini
BPMN is already acknowledged as a de facto standard for business process modeling. However, it still takes a long journey to raise the maturity of business process modeling practice. Business modelers make a lot of mistakes and their BPMN models are often too complex and difficult to understand, analyze and maintain. In this session, we will review and analyze common BPMN anti-patterns that were collected during 5 years of business process modeling consultancy in banking, insurance, telecommunication, software, education, and government domains. For each presented anti-pattern, we will identify the best practice that has been violated and demonstrate how to refactor process diagram. The session will provide essential advice for business analysts on how to easily adopt BPMN and make their business process diagrams structured, readable, and maintainable. About the presenter |
