Preface of the Process Management in the AI Era
                                                                in conjunction with IJCAI-ECAI 2022

   The �rst workshop on Process Management in the AI era (PMAI in short) was included as
a workshop at the IJCAI-ECAI 2022 conference, that is the premier international gathering
of researchers in AI, where the International Joint Conference on AI (IJCAI) was jointly
organized with the European Conference on AI (ECAI), which celebrates its 25th edition and
its 40-year anniversary. PMAI aims at bringing together researchers from di�erent research
disciplines and a strong interest in promoting the synergy between AI and Process Management
(PM) to address frontier challenges in the domain of PM. This event was held as a one-day
workshop, including an invited talk. The topics in PMAI 2022 covered theoretical foundations,
technology development, and real-world applications associated with process management and
AI, including explainable and trustworthy AI for process management and process mining,
conversational systems, natural language processing, human-machine interaction for process
management, KR for process management, reasoning about actions and processes, planning,
and synthesis, AI techniques for process discovery, conformance checking, prescriptive and
predictive monitoring, declarative-based multi-perspective representation of process traces,
uncertainty in AI for process management, multiagent systems, strategic reasoning, game
theory, and mechanism design for multi-party processes. The programme of PMAI 2022 was
composed of one invited talk given by Prof. Chiara Ghedini, and 5 presentation sessions
that included 6 full and 10 poster papers, accepted after undergoing a peer-reviewed process.
We would like to thank Prof. Chiara Ghedini for her inspiring talk and all the contributing
speakers for making PMAI 2022 a great event and a platform for knowledge sharing with the
PM community, and for having lively discussions about signi�cant and contemporary advances
in the domain, featuring an exciting program that demonstrates novel work that arises from
blending between the AI and PM disciplines. We hope there will be subsequent events of this
sort in the future.
