International Journal of Decision Support Systems
Special Issue on: "Advances in Decision Making with Business Process Management"
Guest Editors:
Pavlos Delias, Eastern Macedonia and Thrace Institute of Technology, Greece
Kostas Vergidis, University of Macedonia, Greece
Business process management (BPM) and information systems are experiencing an increasing symbiosis following the shift of focus from data to processes. A growing number of business processes are currently enacted under the supervision of information systems, leading to significant improvements in terms of both performance and compliance.
Organisations strive to streamline and optimise their processes to achieve productivity gains. In addition, BPM provides organisations with knowledge that gives them the opportunity to transform their value chain and innovate.
This special issue welcomes submissions that address the potential of BPM for decision making support.
The issue will carry revised and substantially extended versions of selected papers presented at 10th MCDA Workshop – HELORS (Thessaloniki, Greece, 21-23 November, 2013), but we also strongly encourage researchers unable to participate in the conference to submit articles for this call.
Subject CoverageSuitable topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Process analytics
- Process measurement and metrics
- Process mining
