BPM is a broad discipline. Topics addressed in business process management range from formal methods in computer science to behavioural science methods in management. These distant points in the spectrum are connected by information systems engineering methods. Computer science, information systems engineering, and management share business processes as a common interest, as a joint research area. There are few disciplines that share this breadth. Under a joint BPM umbrella, not only different research topics are addressed, but also different research methods and evaluation criteria are employed. In the first part of this talk, the breadth of the BPM discipline is illustrated by highlighting research results from its sub-fields and discussing their respective research objectives. In the second part, the implications of these observations on the BPM conference are discussed. The goal of our conference series has always been to provide a forum for all aspects of BPM research. Despite this claim the centre of gravity has been initially in computer science and, more recently, in information systems engineering. To further develop the conference and to match in the conference structure the breadth of the BPM discipline, the Steering Committee proposes a novel structure of BPM conferences. By this structure we hope to broaden the BPM community and, ultimately, to be a forum for all aspects of the broad business process management discipline.
