This book constitutes the proceedings of the BPM Forum held during the 17th International Conference on Business Process Management, BPM 2019, which took place in Vienna, Austria, in September 2019.
The BPM Forum hosts innovative research which has a high potential of stimulating discussions. The papers selected for the forum are expected to showcase fresh ideas from exciting and emerging topics in BPM, even if they are not yet as mature as the regular papers at the conference.
The 13 full papers included in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 115 submissions. The papers were organized in topical sections named: specification; execution; analytics; and management.
