This book constitutes the proceedings of the Blockchain and Robotic Process Automation (RPA) Forum which was held as part of the 18th International Conference on Business Process Management, BPM 2020.

This book integrates the material of the lecture series “Blockchain and Robotic Process Automation”, offered at Kiel University. The lecture series sheds light on current research topics on blockchain and robotic process automation (RPA) also in combination with business process management (BPM) or process mining. In this series, leading scientists and business experts give insights into the use of the blockchain technology and RPA.The seven contributions included offer a general introduction into blockchain and smart contracts, and detail the extraction of meaningful events for process mining from blockchain, challenges of blockchain-based collaborative business processes, executing Decision Model and Notation decisions on the blockchain, a blockchain-based solution for digital payment, blockchain use cases in transportation and logistics, and automatically identifying process automation candidates using natural language processing.Overall, the book provides researchers and graduate students with a basic introduction into blockchain, its applications, useful combinations of BPM and blockchain, and use cases for RPA.

This book constitutes revised papers from the International Workshops held at the 20th International Conference on Business Process Management, BPM 2022, in Münster, Germany, during September 11-15, 2022. Papers from the following workshops are included:·         6th International Workshop on Artificial Intelligence for Business Process Management (AI4BPM 2022)·         6th International Workshop on Business Processes Meet Internet-of-Things (BP-Meet-IoT 2022)·         18th International Workshop on Business Process Intelligence (BPI 2022)·         2nd International Workshop on Business Process Management and Routine Dynamics (BPM&RD 2022)·         14th International Workshop on Social and Human Aspects of Business Process Management (BPMS2 2022)  ·       1st International Workshop on Data-Driven Business Process Optimization (BPO 2022) ·         10th International Workshop on DEClarative, DECision and Hybrid approaches to processes (DEC2H 2022) ·         1st International Workshop on Natural Language Processing for Business Process Management (NLP4BPM 2022) Each of the eight workshops focused on particular aspects of business process management. Overall, after a thorough review process, there were 23 full and 3 short papers selected from a total of 51 submissions. Only one of the short papers is included in the proceedings.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 16th IFIP Working Conference on the Practice of Enterprise Modeling, PoEM 2023, which took place in Vienna, Austria, during November 28 - December 1, 2023.PoEM offers a forum for sharing experiences and knowledge between the academic community and practitioners from industry and the public sector. This year the theme of the conference is Enterprise Modeling in the Circular Economy.The 12 full papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 34 submissions. They were organized in topical sections named as follows: Enterprise modeling and artificial intelligence; emerging architectures and digital transformation; modeling tools and approaches; and enterprise modeling at work.
