Track Description:

According to a recent report by Gartner research, the market value in 2011 for business process management (BPM) technologies was $2.4 billion with a projected 9.65% growth rate up to 2016. The strong BPM technology market growth indicates BPM’s direct contribution to enterprise performance by achieving operational excellence and process agility and the increasing importance of BPM research. Business intelligence (BI) technologies have gained increasing attention in recent years, which provide historical, current, and predictive views of business operations based on advanced data collection, extraction, and analysis of large data sets to improve business decision making (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_intelligence). Many interesting and innovative concepts, technologies, and applications have emerged from the intersection of BPM and BI disciplines, such as process mining, automatic process mapping, intelligent process configuration, and advanced process analytics, which can be collectively referred to as Business Process Intelligence (BPI).  The BPI Area of Interest for SIGBPS provides a forum for researchers and practitioners who are interested in innovative technologies, methodologies, and theories in business process intelligence.
