Preface
            Workshops and Work-in-Progress Contributions
                        at S-BPM ONE 2018


Ever since it has been established more than 10 years ago, S-BPM ONE has been a
venue where scientists and practitioners met and jointly discussed novel concepts and
experiences in an interactive, open setting. At the tenth anniversary of S-BPM ONE,
we take this tradition to a new level. For the first time, S-BPM ONE offers workshops
to discuss new application areas of subject-orientation in both, academia and industry.
   This volume collects all scientific contributions to the workshops at S-BPM ONE
2018. During the conference, they are presented and discussed jointly with practition-
ers’ contributions in a series of interactive half-day workshops.
   The workshop on “Digitalization: Knowledge Work, Learning, and Industry 4.0”
has been proposed by Christian Stary and Georg Weichhart. It was designed to collect
findings and experiences from digitalization projects. Such projects require a body of
socio-technical techniques and tools to manage disruptive interventions and processes
for project-participants with heterogeneous backgrounds. One of the latest develop-
ments, cyber-physical systems require the vertical and horizontal process integration of
processes, in order to support organizational goals by digital means, as these develop-
ments aim for servitization and industrial re-engineering at the same time. As such, they
trigger learning processes involving stakeholders from various professions and work
areas. Their knowledge needs to be recognized, elicited, and shared in novel ways.
   The workshop on “Subject-oriented BPM for Community Support” has been pro-
posed by Stijn Hoppenbrouwers, Alexander Nolte and Stefan Oppl. It strives to develop
an understanding of how human-centric approaches to business process management
can be used to support communities pursuing a particular, shared aim during the differ-
ent phases of their operation. Communities can be formally established with clear, ex-
ternally motivated aims or emerge informally from a group of like-minded people. They
can operate based on loosely coupled interaction or tightly interwoven collaborative
work practices. Such diverse communities require different facilitation settings and
supporting instruments, which need to be deployed dynamically according to the needs
of the participants. Subject-oriented and human-centric BPM instruments can offer
structural and behavioural support when operating in or transitioning between different
forms of communities. As such, they could be used to offer guidance during early
phases of community building, document learnings and identify room for improvement,
as well as perpetuate developed practices in settings with dynamically changing partic-
ipants.
   These two workshops have received contributions from scientific and practitioner
communities. The former are included in this volume. The workshop “Towards Com-
mon Process Understanding in Collective Welfare” offers a practice-oriented forum to
discuss potential synergies between subject-oriented process management processes
and the collective welfare economy concept. Although collective welfare and the de-
2

velopment of common goods are well shared concepts, role-specific behavior descrip-
tions could be used to explain more accurately underlying systems and development
processes. Respective representations could enclose theories like complex adaptive sys-
tems, emergence or evolutionary dynamics, as we can take some concepts from infor-
mation and social sciences for deriving in-depth understanding of the behavior of in-
volved entities. Also, we could understand societal development like a System-of-Sys-
tems in where its stakeholders strive for a common welfare and the equilibrium of the
system of which they are members. The workshop has been proposed by Wolfgang
Hofkirchner, Manfred Blachfellner and Christian Stary and is not included in this vol-
ume, as it has not received submissions from the scientific community.
   Each submission to the workshops has been reviewed by at least three members of
the joint international programme committee:

• Jörg Becker
• Stefanie Betz
• Cristina Cabanillas
• Anke Dittmar
• Udo Kannengiesser
• Stefan Koch
• Agnes Koschmider
• Florian Krenn
• Christian Huemer
• Stijn Hoppenbrouwers
• Ebba Hvannberg
• Matthias Neubauer
• Alexander Nolte
• Thomas Schaller
• Christian Stary
• Florian Strecker
• Nikolas Vidakis
• Marco Winckler

   Overall 12 contributions were submitted to the workshops. After the review process,
6 scientific contributions were accepted as full workshop papers (3 per workshop), one
was accepted as a work-in-progress contribution and one was accepted for a poster
presentation and is included in this volume as an abstract.
   We would like to thank the workshop organizers, the authors, and the members of
the programme committee for contributing to the success of S-BPM ONE workshop
track.
