[Call For Papers] International Conference on Process Mining 2025

[Gert JANSSENSWILLEN]

ICPM2025: Call for Research Papers

The International Conference on Process Mining (ICPM) is the leading global
forum for researchers, practitioners, and developers in process mining. The
conference fosters a dynamic exchange of ideas and knowledge through
scientific talks, interactive industry discussions, live contests, hands-on
tutorials, and expert panels.

ICPM covers all facets of process mining, including theoretical
advancements, algorithmic challenges, impactful applications, and
interdisciplinary connections with fields like machine learning, data
science, and operations management. Co-sponsored by the IEEE Computational
Intelligence Society and supported by the IEEE Task Force on Process
Mining, ICPM represents the cutting edge of process mining research and
practice.

Process mining transforms how organizations understand, analyze, and
improve their work processes by extracting insights from transactional data
recorded in IT systems. This data-driven approach enables organizations to
enhance performance across key dimensions such as efficiency, quality,
compliance, and risk. By replacing traditional, assumption-based
methodologies with evidence-based decision-making, process mining unlocks
unique opportunities for advancing business process management.

*Topics for Research Papers*

ICPM 2025 invites groundbreaking contributions in both technical and
empirical process mining research, aiming to push the boundaries of
innovation and knowledge. Submissions should clearly articulate their
contributions and novelty. Unless they are purely formal or conceptual,
papers are expected to include evaluations (in case of technical papers) or
present newly collected data (in case of empirical papers). To enhance
replicability and impact, authors are strongly encouraged to provide
supplementary resources, such as used datasets, publicly accessible
implementations, and experimental packages for empirical studies. Studies
utilizing novel, unpublished datasets are particularly welcomed. Research
using existing datasets must emphasize the novelty of the analysis or its
unprecedented results.

Selected accepted papers may be invited for an extended and revised
publication in a special issue of the flagship journal Process Science,
edited by Springer (https://link.springer.com/journal/44311).

ICPM 2025 welcomes submissions across a broad spectrum of topics, including
but not limited to:

*Technical Research in Process Mining*

   - Novel process mining techniques for
      - Process discovery
      - Conformance checking
      - Performance measurement
      - Predictive and prescriptive process monitoring
      - Comparative process analysis
   - Formal foundations of process mining
   - Conceptual models related to process mining
   - Process mining visualizations

*Empirical Research in Process Mining*

   - Case studies and applications
   - Experiments involving process mining algorithms
   - Humans-in-the-loop experiments
   - Surveys
   - Interview-based studies

*Types of Contributions & Submission Instructions*

ICPM 2025 welcomes two types of contributions:

*1. Regular Research Papers *

Regular research papers should present completed research with clearly
outlined contributions. Accepted regular research papers will be presented
in the main track of the conference, allowing authors to share their
findings and engage with attendees through Q&A sessions. Regular research
papers will be published in the conference proceedings.

   - Length: Maximum of 8 pages
   - Format: Papers must follow the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society
   conference proceedings guidelines (8.5″ × 11″, two-column format).
   Templates for LaTeX and Word are available here:
   https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html

*2. Posters*

Poster submissions provide a platform for presenting new ideas or ongoing,
promising work. Authors can gather feedback and engage with the community
in a dedicated poster session. Poster papers will be reviewed but not
published in the conference proceedings.

   - Length: Maximum of 4 pages
   - Format: Use the IEEE templates provided above. In addition, authors of
   poster submissions should add “(Poster)” to the title of their submission
   to clearly distinguish them as such.

*Submission Guidelines*

   - All submissions must be original and not submitted elsewhere during
   the review process.
   - The use of AI-generated text must be disclosed in the acknowledgments
   section of the paper. Any sections utilizing AI-generated content must
   include citations to the AI system used.
   - Submissions should be made through the ICPM 2025 submission system at
    https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icpm2025
   <https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icpm2025> (ICPM 2025 track)
   - All papers must be written in English.

*Review Process*

   - Each submission will be reviewed by at least one senior process
   committee member and two additional reviewers.
   - A discussion period will follow the reviews to finalize decisions.

*Presentation and Copyright*

   - At least one author of each accepted contribution is required to
   register for the conference, present their work, and sign a copyright
   release form.

*Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion*

The Process Mining community welcomes the advancement of diversity, equity,
and inclusion (DEI) across our professional endeavors. We celebrate the
diversity in our community and foster an environment that welcomes
individuals irrespective of age, gender identity, race, ethnicity,
socioeconomic status, nationality, beliefs, sexual orientation, physical
capabilities, education, and professional background. We urge all
participants to uphold DEI principles in their written work, reviews,
presentations, and any engagement linked to the ICPM conference.

*Open Science Principles*

The ICPM conference encourages authors of research papers to follow the
principles of transparency, reproducibility, and replicability. In
particular, the conference supports the adoption of open data and open
source principles and encourages authors to disclose (anonymized and
curated) data in order to increase reproducibility and replicability.

Authors are encouraged to make research artifacts (e.g., prototypes,
interview protocols, questionnaires) or the datasets (used in, or produced
by, the empirical evaluation) reported in the paper available in a suitable
form. To facilitate this, we kindly ask authors to include links in their
manuscripts to private or public repositories where reviewers can access
the associated research artifacts. This information may be presented in a
dedicated section, such as  “Data availability” or “Reproducibility”. This
requirement does not apply to papers that neither involve an empirical
study nor a prototype implementation.

Authors who are unable or choose not to share their research artifacts and
datasets with the program committee are encouraged to provide an
explanation within their submitted manuscript, detailing the reasons behind
their decision. This statement may be removed from the final version of the
paper if it gets accepted. Possible reasons may involve privacy
restrictions or non-disclosure agreements. While sharing research artifacts
is not mandatory for submission or acceptance, the program committee
members may use this information to inform their decision.

To enhance the accessibility of research artifacts and datasets, authors
are advised to make them accessible via public repositories (e.g., Zenodo,
Figshare, GitHub, or institutional archives) under an open data license
such as the CC0 dedication or the CC-BY 4.0 license. Making research
artifacts and datasets available via cloud services such as Dropbox or
Google Docs is discouraged due to the volatility of the links associated
with these services.

Finally, authors are encouraged to self-archive their pre- and post-prints
in open, preserved repositories, such as their institutional preprint
repository, arXiv, or other non-profit services, in line with IEEE’s
copyright agreement (see IEEE Preprint Policy
<https://cis.ieee.org/publications/t-emerging-topics-in-ci/tetci-ieee-preprint-policy>
).
