Call for Workshop Proposals

ICPM 2027 seeks proposals for one-day or half-day workshops to be held the day before the main conference. Workshops facilitate the exchange of ideas and experiences among active researchers, practitioners, and vendors, and stimulate discussions on new and emerging perspectives in Process Mining. We encourage workshop proposals that expand or reinforce the scope of topics and paradigms represented at the main conference, covering a broad area, and avoiding excessively narrow topics.

To stimulate discussion and interaction, we invite two forms of workshops:

  1. Traditional workshops consist primarily of the plenary presentation of submitted and peer-reviewed papers. Traditional workshops may include other interactive elements, such as poster presentations or discussions. Research papers will be published by Springer as a post-workshop proceedings volume in the series Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing (LNBIP).
  2. Fully interactive workshops consist solely of sessions that actively engage the audience. Such sessions may include, but are not limited to, panel or debate sessions, interactive tutorials, brainstorming or co-creation sessions, manifesto/paper writing sessions, or poster/lightning-talk sessions. Proposals of this type should include a plan for dissemination (for example, an intent to work towards a publication, or a document describing the outcomes of the workshop, or uploaded to an open repository such as arXiv or Zenodo, or a self-published poster or collection of abstracts on the workshop webpage).

The workshop proposers should have a strong affinity with the proposed workshop topic and be well-connected with experts on their topic. The workshop itself should provide a forum for important, innovative, and timely topics of process mining, be broad enough to attract a large potential audience, and be structured enough to encourage discussion and collaboration within the community.

Beyond these aspects, the accepted workshops ideally together cover a broad spectrum of the Process Mining research discipline. To this end, there may be a negotiation phase in which we seek to consolidate or expand the scope of workshop proposals. The submission system installation alongside the required setups and other organizational details will be communicated to all workshop organisers in due time.

The traditional workshop proceedings will be made available after the conference, while a collection of pre-prints will be made available before the workshop day. Finally, workshops may be asked to merge with another workshop after submission numbers are known.

Workshop proposals should include the following items:

  1. Title: The title of the workshop and an acronym.
  2. Type of workshop: Traditional or fully interactive.
  3. Theme: An outline of the workshop theme, goals, and the intended audience.
  4. Duration: Full-day or a half-day event (tentative).
  5. Activities: Intended activities and proposed planning.
  6. Organizers: A brief biography of each workshop organizer.
  7. Potential Audience: A brief statement that states how the workshops would be able to attract a sufficiently large audience, including a list of potential researchers who have worked on (some of) the topics of the workshop.
  8. Promotion: The complete plan of activities envisioned to stimulate submissions to the workshop. The plan must include precise details, e.g., the specific mailing lists.
  9. Community Interaction: A description of how you plan to facilitate audience and wider community interaction before and during the workshop, for example through the planning of interactive sessions.

For traditional workshops:

  1. Submissions: The targeted number of submissions. For existing workshops, please include the number of past submissions and accepted papers.
  2. Call for Papers: The tentative Call for Papers, including a tentative PC list.

For fully interactive workshops:

  1. Dissemination plan: A plan for how the results of the workshop will be disseminated.
  2. Call for Papers: If relevant for the format, the tentative Call for Papers, including a tentative PC list.

Workshop proposals must be submitted as a PDF document via EasyChair at: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icpm2027 (ICPM 2027 Workshops track).
