Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The fast development of technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, the Internet of Things, blockchain, etc., has completely changed the way organizations manage their information systems (ISs). To retain business competitiveness, a fast response to changes and the exploitation of technological benefits are needed. Within and across organizations, business process management (BPM) is an essential element of continuous improvement and digital transformation enabled by ISs. It has emerged as a cross-disciplinary field, and the main objective is to streamline complex organizational processes. However, organizations are encountering several hurdles in order to implement them effectively.
The theme of this Special Issue is modern BPM enabled by ISs. Process modeling, process design, coordination and interoperability, model management, architecture and framework, process mining, business process compliance and control, applications of BPM, and new technologies are identified as parts of BPM systems. Apart from technical adoptions, organizational, legal, human-centered, and economic challenges should also be considered, as well as their associated research areas, for instance, human resources, supply chain management, information technology, marketing and CRM, e-commerce, knowledge management and innovation, etc. The field of ISs and BPM is continuously expanding, and these themes provide the perspective of an evolving discipline. This Special Issue is a great opportunity for researchers to contribute works on ISs and BPM.
The topics covered by the Special Issue have a wide range, but a comprehensive scope. We welcome submissions from various disciplines, including management, entrepreneurship, innovation, marketing, business, IS, etc. The complete list of topics of interest includes but is not limited to the following:
- Business process management and technological advancements such as AI, blockchain, big data, IoT, etc.;
- Research on BPM-related standards and technologies;
- Blockchain and smart contracts in business process management;
- Decentralized business process management: approaches, tools and techniques;
- Digital innovation and transformation with ISs and BPM;
- Dynamic adaptations in process-aware information systems;
- Business process visualization;
- Case studies, literature reviews and empirical studies on IS and BPM research topics;
- Other IS and BPM related topics.
Research works submitted to this Special Issue will be subject to a strong peer-review process with the aim of wide dissemination of research results.
