The workshop accepts two categories of submissions: Regular papers and Show & Tell sessions

Regular papers. Authors are invited to submit original, previously unpublished research papers. Submissions are expected to be between 12-15 pages long, and short papers between 6-11 pages long – including references, appendices, and figures.
Springer will publish research papers as a post-workshop proceedings volume in the series Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing (LNBIP). According to Springer’s policy, the acceptance rate will be lower than or at most equal to 50%

Show & Tell. In addition, we welcome summaries of work already published or under submission elsewhere, descriptions of work in progress, tutorials, and practical experience reports. These categories will not be published but will have space for presentation. The format of the category is free and should not exceed 2 pages.

At least one author of each accepted paper must register and participate in the workshop.

For formatting instructions and templates, see the Springer Web page: http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html

Submissions should be made via Easychair through the following submission page: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bpm2025  (by selecting the PLC workshop)

All submissions must be in English and converted to PDF before electronic submission.

The organization of a journal special issue dedicated to the workshop topics is under consideration. If confirmed, a selection of the best accepted Regular papers will be considered for an extended version of the special issue.

The workshop’s main purpose is to create a community of scholars in the intersection of process mining and laws. The authors of accepted papers, after presenting their work,  are invited to to debate in plenum over a central theme in the session, with the facilitation of the session chair and participants. A keynote speech at the beginning of the morning session will bring inspiration for the workshop on relevant topics (e.g. AI and Law). To finalize the workshop, the last plenary session will discuss the challenges and future directions in the BPM and Law research.
