BPMEA - Business process management & enterprise architecture track at ACM SAC Conference

The Business Process Management & Enterprise Architecture (BPMEA) track aims at gathering researchers and practitioners around the broad topics of business processes and enterprise architecture with a special interest in modeling. These disciplines are quickly evolving and intertwining with each other, and are often referred to with the broad term of business modeling. While several researches are addressing these aspects, there is still a strong need of exploring new paths of improvement and consolidation, especially in light of the recent trends in the business, which put a lot of emphasis on large-scale system engineering, through modeling techniques that are applied at global scale, and data analysis approaches that combine cloud-based big data analytics with enterprise and system models. Topics of relevance for the BPMEA track include enterprise and systems architecture and modeling, multilevel models tracing and alignment, models transformation, IT & business alignment (both in terms of modeling and goals) and big data analysis applied to enterprise-wide data, tackling both technical (languages, systems, patterns, tools) and social (collaboration, human-in-the-loop) issues.
