The Thorough Reviewing Process—each Paper Was Reviewed By Three To ?ve Program Committee Members—was Extremely C- Petitive As The Acceptance Rate Of 16% Indicates. In Addition To The Contributed Papers, These Proceedings Contain Two Papers And An Outline Documenting The Invited Keynote Talks. Furthermore, A Report Is Included On The Collaboration Structure In Bpm Research Derived From An Analysis Of Papers Accepted For All Past Bpm Conferences. In Conjunction With The Main Conference, Nine International Workshops Took Place The Day Before The Conference. These Workshops Fostered The Exchange Of Fresh Ideas And Experiences Between Active Bpm Researchers, And Stimulated Discussions On New And Emerging Issues In Line With The Conference Topics.
