BPM 2020
Dissertation Award, Doctoral Consortium, and
Demonstration & Resources Track:
Preface
This volume contains the papers presented at the Dissertation Award, Doctoral
Consortium, and Demonstration & Resources tracks of the 18th International
Conference on Business Process Management (BPM 2020), organized by the
University of Seville, Spain.
The Best BPM Dissertation Award demonstrates the excellence and inno-
vative power of young BPM researchers. Eligible as candidates have been all
dissertations that have been officially completed after 01 January 2019. The
winner receives the award at the BPM Conference 2020 in Sevilla, Spain. The
award is connected with a prize of EUR 1,000 and a free registration for the con-
ference. The winner is also offered the option to publish the dissertation thesis
in Springer’s LNBIP series.
The Doctoral Consortium pursues the objectives to provide valuable feed-
back and guidance to PhD students from experienced researchers as well as to
promote the development of a community of scholars including both peers and
mentors for future careers. Each of the received submissions have been evaluated
by four senior researchers. As a result of the selection process, three of the stu-
dents’ research proposals were accepted. The topics covered by these proposals
include the application of ontology-based techniques to support large companies
in dealing with cross-application business processes, the extraction of process
models from natural language text, and the application of blockchain technolo-
gies in the wind industry to automate (cross-organizational) business processes.
Around these topics, the PhD students and senior researchers work in small
groups to discuss on the respective PhD project, its methodology, and its tech-
nical aspects. The challenges of doing a PhD project in BPM are tackled and
experiences are shared.
The Demonstration & Resources track is intended to showcase innovative
BPM tools, services and applications, as well as datasets, taxonomies, labelled
event logs and annotated corpora alike that may originate from academic initia-
tives or industry endeavours. This edition has been the first one extending the
range of submissions from sole demos to resources too. As usual for the track, the
focus on the data-driven analysis of processes is accompanied by emerging new
fields of investigation, such as robotic process automation, privacy-preserving
data treatment and innovative means for process exploration and specification.
The works show the support of the BPM community to actionable solutions for
industry and academic peers alike, as in the tradition of the track.
The organizers of the Dissertation Award, Doctoral Consortium, and Demon-
stration & Resources Track would like to express their gratitude to all individ-
II BPM 2020 Dissertation Award, Doctoral Consortium, and Demonstration & Resources Track
uals, institutions, and sponsors that supported BPM 2020. A special word goes
to all members of the committees who contributed to make the tracks a success.
