Business process management as a scientific discipline has been very successful in developing concepts, languages, algorithms, and techniques in different aspects of the domain. Many of those concepts and techniques, however, did not yet find their way to the operational business of companies. One of the reasons for the weak uptake of research results in business process management is the lack of research in engineering aspects of process-aware information systems.

Engineering focuses on the entire value chain of system development, from the elicitation of business requirements to the engineering of suitable architectures, components and user interfaces of process systems, as well as their testing, deployment, and maintenance. The proposed workshop aims at providing a forum for researchers and practitioners who are interested in all engineering aspects of the design and implementation of process systems.

• Methodologies for the design and engineering of process applications
• Requirements engineering of process systems
• Testing process systems
• Deployment aspects of process systems
• Novel architectures in process design and implementation
• Design of process engines
• Implementation concepts for large-scale process systems
• Empirical aspects of process systems
• Lessons learned from process implementation projects
• Service-based processes
• Cloud-based process enactment
• Smart processes in the physical world
• Event management in process systems

The goal of the workshop is to provide a forum for academic researchers and practitioners in different disciplines that are relevant for the workshop theme. Experts in business process management and software engineering are invited to join. We expect stimulating discussions of engineering approaches on the edge of software engineering and business process management. In particular, it will be interesting to discuss in how far software engineering methods and techniques in, for instance, requirements engineering, software architectures and testing can be used to tackle process engineering challenges. On the other hand, process management results could also complement software engineering techniques in areas like requirements elicitation and software architectures (e.g., model-driven design).
