taking place on September 23rd, 2013 in Eindhoven, the Netherlands in conjunction with the 29th International Conference on Software Maintenance Eindhoven, the Netherlands, 22-28 September 2013.

about

The goal of the CPSM workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners in the area of Business Process (re)design and software maintenance, to discuss about and exchange ideas on quality, understandability and maintainability of business process models, of software models, and of the relationships between BP models, software models, and system implementation.

The workshop will focus on model understandability, complexity of modeling languages, actual usage of language features, cognitive aspects in modeling languages, human perception and subjective perspectives on models, impact of professional roles and of cultural background on model understanding, and related issues. The workshop will be a multi-disciplinary forum for discussing about impact of models on understanding and communication between people.

Software Engineering & Business Process Management: Interpretatio, Imitatio, Aemulatio

keynote by prof.dr.ir. Hajo Reijers

Where software engineering (SE) is a discipline that is at least 50 years old, one can argue that Business Process Management (BPM) only reached half that age. Consequently, BPM researchers can draw a lot of inspiration from SE insights and practices and, in fact, actively do so. In this talk, I will try and provide an overview of the principles that have been embraced so far and provide some attractive directions not pursued so far. Finally, I will take a shot at flipping the tables in looking towards BPM as a field that may inspire the SE community as well.

An Overview of Software Code Quality and Connection with Process Quality

by prof.dr. Yann-Gaël Guéhéneuc

In this presentation, we will go over the principle means to define and assess software code quality as well as main results, with emphasis on pattern-related quality. We will connect the presented methods, techniques, and results with process modelling and discuss what could be or not reused from one context to the other.
