EMoV 2014 - 1st Workshop on Event Modeling and Processing in Business Process Management

During business process execution, it is required to collect and process information and events produced by various distributed systems. In a business process, events can be used for, amongst others, monitoring, analyzing, or controlling business process executions. Consequently, activities in a business process can be coordinated or new processes can dynamically be instantiated by events allowing processes to be merged, compensated, or replaced. This dynamic interaction of multiple business processes requires the integration of information about events in business process models as well as the implementation and establishment of new modeling paradigms, ideas, and innovations from re-search and industry.
The workshop Event Modeling and Processing in Business Process Management aims to discuss current challenges, solution proposals, and future research perspectives for modeling business processes including events for dynamic business process execution. The workshop provides a forum for discussions between researchers and practitioners with interest in an evolving field in the area of business process management. The workshop encourages innovative yet unpublished research papers, case studies, and experience reports enabling the modeling of interdependent business processes and event-driven process execution.
