This volume contains the papers presented at the BPM Forum of the 17th International
Conference on Business Process Management (BPM 2019). The conference provided a
forum for researchers and practitioners in the broad and diverse field of BPM. To
accommodate for the diversity of the field, the BPM conference hosted tracks for
foundations, engineering, and management. The conference was held in Vienna,
Austria, during September 1–6, 2019.
Since its introduction, the aim of the BPM Forum has been to host innovative
research that has high potential to stimulate discussion, but does not quite meet the
rigorous quality criteria for the main conference. The papers selected for the forum
showcase fresh ideas from exciting and emerging topics in business process management. We received a total of 157 submissions, from which we took 115 into review. Each submission was reviewed by at least three Program Committee (PC) member and one senior PC member. In all, 23 papers were accepted for the main conference. In
addition, we invited 17 innovative papers to the BPM Forum, out of which 13 accepted our invitation.
