CFP:

In recent years, we have witnessed huge momentum of the Internet of Things (IoT) as the new infrastructure in various fields such as smart city, smart transportation, smart manufacturing, intelligent healthcare, smart energy and so on. As the IoT evolves, its focus outstretches from connecting and bringing various devices to the Internet, to synergizing human, cyber and physical worlds, and to delivering services to businesses, etc. Meanwhile, the Process-Aware Information Systems (PAIS) and Business Process Management(BPM) are playing an increasingly important role for the modern enterprises. In line with the above trends, there is an increasing need to integrate IoT and BPM.

This session focuses on the integration IoT and BPM to boost the next generation PAIS. BPM may sense the physical world faster and more accurately by means of IoT, and the fast-expanding IoT big data may be more effectively leveraged and ‘programmed’ by means of BPM. However, the integration of BPM and IoT is facing some paradigm misalignment challenges, for example, mismatch of programming mechanisms, mismatch of resource management mechanisms and mismatch of adaptation mechanisms. This session invites several papers to discuss issues related to the above-stated challenges. Topics of this session include (but not limited to): Abstraction approach for IoT stream data, IoT service modeling, Composition, verification and provision of IoT services for BPM, Resource discovery and data management for IoT-aware business processes, IoT-aware business process modeling and execution, IoT-aware business process adaptation and evolution, Machine learning and data mining on IoT big data, Decentralized computing and blockchains in synergizing IoT and BPM, Applications, case studies and benchmarks in IoT and BPM convergence.
