June 29th - July 1st, 2011

    Campione d’Italia, Italy

 

* About SIMPDA *

With the increasing automation of business processes growing amounts of
process 

data become available. This opens new research opportunities for business 

process data analysis, mining and modeling. The aim of the IFIP 2.6 - 2.12
First 

International Symposium on Data-Driven Process Discovery and Analysis is to 

offer a forum where researchers from different communities and the industry
can 

share their insight in this hot new field.

The Symposium will feature a number of advanced keynotes illustrating new 

approaches, shorter presentations on recent research, a  competitive PhD
seminar 

and selected research and industrial demonstrations. All this in the nice 

setting of Campione d’Italia, the Italian enclave surrounded by Swiss
territory, 

on the shores of Lake Lugano.

 

* Call for Papers *

The IFIP International Symposium on Data-Driven Process Discovery and
Analysis  

offers to researchers and practitioners working in business process data 

modeling, representation and privacy-aware analysis a unique opportunity to 

present new approaches and research results. 

The Symposium will bring together leading researchers, engineers and
scientists 

from around the world. Full papers must not exceed 10 pages. Short papers
are 

limited to at most 4 pages. All papers must be original contributions, not 

previously published or under review for publication elsewhere. All 

contributions must be written in English. 

Accepted papers will be published in a pre-proceedings volume with ISBN.
Authors 

of accepted papers will be invited to submit extended articles to a 

post-symposium volume of LNBIP (Lecture Notes in Business Information 

Processing, http://www.springer.com/series/7911), scheduled for late 2011 

(extended papers length is between 7000 and 9000 words). Around 15-20 papers


will be selected for the publication after a second round of review.

* Call for PhD Research Plans *

The SIMPDA PhD Seminar is a workshop for Ph.D. students from all over the
world. 

The goal of the Seminar is to help students with their thesis and research
plans 

by providing feedback and general advice on how to use their research
results.

Students interested in participating in the Seminar should submit an
extended 

abstract describing their research. Submissions are sought relating to any 

aspect of Process Data: technical advances, usage and impact studies, policy


analyses, social and institutional implications, theoretical contributions, 

interaction and design advances, and innovative applications, social 

implications.

 

> SIMPDA PhD award

A doctoral award will be recognized by the SIMPDA PhD Jury for the best
research 

plan submitted.

 

> Tutored research activities 

Interested PhD students can apply to carry out pre-symposium tutored
research 

activities. Such activities provide a unique way to identify research
questions 

and will culminate with presentations to be given at the symposium.

In order to apply, please contact paolo.ceravolo at unimi.it

 

> Student Scholarships

An application for a limited number of scholarships aimed at students coming


from emerging countries has been submitted to IFIP.

In order to apply, please contact paolo.ceravolo at unimi.it

 

* Call for Demonstrations and Posters *

Demonstrations showcase innovative technology and applications, allowing you
to 

share your work directly with your colleagues in a high-visibility setting. 

Demonstration proposals should consist of a title, extended abstract, and 

contact information for the authors and should not exceed 2 pages. 

Posters permit presentation of late-breaking results in an informal,
interactive 

manner. Poster proposals should consist of a title, extended abstract, and 

contact information for the authors, and should not exceed 2 pages. 

Accepted demonstrations or posters will be displayed at the conference. 

Abstracts will appear in the proceedings.

 

* Submissions *

Contributions to all calls should be submitted electronically to the
Symposium 

management system connecting to 

http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=simpda2011. At least one author
of 

each accepted paper is expected to participate in the conference and present
