Topic: The Impact of Large Language Models on Business Process Management
Participation is open to all who are interested
The NLP4BPM workshop aims to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners to present, discuss, and evaluate how natural language processing (NLP) can be used to establish new or improve existing methods, techniques, tools, and process-aware systems that support the different phases of the BPM life-cycle.
In this context, natural language can play a variety of roles. Among others, it can be used to describe processes in a comprehensible manner, define the meaning of events and activities, and it can provide support for the conduct of process analyses themselves, e.g., as an interface for process mining or modeling.
In the workshop, we welcome any contribution that considers textual content or meaning for any BPM task, this includes, but is not limited to:
Generating process models from natural language text
Automatic requirements engineering
Determining process compliance against regulatory texts
Assessing process model quality and consistency
Semantic process mining
Decision mining based on natural language attributes
Process mining based on e-mails
Conversational interfaces for BPM
Process model matching and querying
Robotic process automation
Cognitive process automation
We are open to receive several types of paper submissions to our workshop:
Regular papers (up to 12 pages), which can relate to the development of specific techniques or approaches (including work-in-progress) and case studies.
Idea and vision papers (5 to 7 pages), which point to exciting new directions in early stages of research, or bold visions of new challenges and opportunities in the application of NLP to BPM
Dataset papers (5 to 7 pages), which aim to share and describe (new) datasets that can be used by other researchers in the context of NLP for BPM.
This year edition will include a plenary discussion in which all participants will be encouraged to jointly talk about a variety of questions and statements on how to further advance the research area. Eventually, we might use the insights from this session to establish a manifesto afterwards.
Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished research papers. Papers must be written in English and strictly following the Springer LNBIP style. Indicated page limits apply to the total length of the manuscript, including references.
Submitted papers will be evaluated according to their rigor, significance, originality, technical quality and exposition, by at least three distinct members of an international program committee. All submissions must be done via EasyChair: https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=bpm2023
The workshop papers will be published by Springer as a post-workshop proceedings volume in the series Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing (LNBIP). At least one author of each accepted paper must register and participate in the workshop. Registration is subject to the terms, conditions and procedures of the main BPM’23 conference to be found at its website: https://bpm2023.sites.uu.nl/.
Paper submission: Tuesday May 30, 2023 Saturday June 10 (Deadline extended!)
Notification to authors: Friday June 30, 2023
Camera-ready submission: Friday July 14, 2023
Workshop: Monday September 11, 2023
