Value creation by internetworking organizations has become a standard in today's business. As a consequence collaborative design and execution of business processes not only within organizations, but also across their borders gain more and more attention. Next generation Business Process Management (BPM) must provide means for stakeholders from different organizations to jointly analyze, design, validate, implement, execute, monitor and optimize border-crossing processes. This requires approaches adequately involving all internal and external stakeholders in order to leverage their knowledge, expertise and creativity along the BPM lifecycle activities and to support their social interaction and coordination. Increasing the intensity of comprehensive stakeholder participation significantly impacts motivational, organizational, methodical and technical aspects of BPM. XOC-BPM addresses these aspects. During the workshop respective research questions, projects and results were presented and discussed. We want to thank the reviewers for their detailed feedback and the chairs and hosts of CBI 2015 for their great support.
XOC-BPM 2015 was organized in conjunction with the 17th IEEE Conference on Business Informatics (CBI 2015) in Lisbon, Portugal.
