TAPV 2012 - Workshop on Theory and Applications of Process Visualization

The representation of business process models has been a research topic for many years. However, many process model representations have not developed beyond minimally interactive 2D representations of directed graphs. This dearth of visualization research has led to problems with BPM uptake, as the representations can be difficult for stakeholders to understand. Much of the research in computer human interaction, games and interactive entertainment has much potential in BPM; to engage, provide insight, and to promote collaboration. Via this workshop, we intend to create a community to unify and nurture the development of process visualization topics as continuing research areas.
