PQ 2016 - 1st International Workshop on Process Querying

The International Workshop on Process Querying 2016 (PQ 2016) is the first edition of a workshop for researchers and practitioners in the area of process querying of large process model collections to be held in conjunction with BPM 2016. It aims to provide a high quality forum for researchers and practitioners to exchange research findings and ideas on process querying technologies and practices. Process querying addresses the problem of automatically managing individual process models and collections thereof. Process querying research spans a range of topics from theoretical studies of algorithms and the limits of computability of process querying techniques to practical issues of implementing process querying technologies in software. Process querying reuses existing methods and contributes new results in research areas of business process management, analysis and design of information systems, model checking, formal methods, process mining, conformance checking, process model repair, information retrieval, big data, formal languages, programming languages, as well as other disciplines that study techniques that can be used to address the problem of information overload in process models and/or modern process model repositories.
