Preface
ThisvolumecontainsthepaperspresentedattheBlockchainForumandattheCentral
and Eastern Europe Forum (CEE Forum) of the 17th International Conference on
Business Process Management (BPM 2019). The conference provided forums for
researchers and practitioners in the broad and diverse field of BPM. The conference
was held in Vienna, Austria, during September 1–6, 2019. The forums took place
during September 3–5, 2019.
The Blockchain Forum aims at providing a platform for the discussion of ongoing
research and success stories on the use of blockchain for collaborative information
systems. Conceptual, technical, and application-oriented contributions were pursued
within the scope of this theme. The papers selected for the Blockchain Forum
showcased fresh ideas from exciting and emerging topics in the area of blockchain
technologieswithaspecialfocuson,yetnotlimitedto,businessprocessmanagement.
Moreover, we had two keynotes. Ingo Weber from TU Berlin illustrated the last four
years of research integrating blockchains and business process management, also
covering related use cases and applications. The keynote of Stefan Schulte from TU
Wien revolved around blockchain interoperability, with a special focus on
cross-blockchain token transfers and cross-blockchain smart contract invocation and
interaction.
TheobjectiveoftheCEEForumwastofosterdiscussionforBPMacademicsfrom
Central and Eastern Europe to disseminate their research, compare results, and share
experiences. This first-time proposed CEE Forum was an opportunity for both novice
and established BPM researchers who have not yet had the chance to attend the
internationalBPMconferencetogettoknoweachother,initiateresearchprojects,and
join the international BPM community. The papers selected for the CEE Forum
illustrate novel and applied methods for the development of both the theory and
practice of business process management in the process of BPM adoption within the
Central and Eastern European area.

Blockchain and BPM - Reflections on
Four Years of Research and Applications
(Abstract of Keynote Talk)
Ingo Weber
TechnischeUniversitaet Berlin,Germany
[email protected]
Abstract. With the introduction of smart contracts, blockchain technology has
become a general-purpose execution framework that offers highly interesting
properties, like immutability and censorship resistance. This has sparked
investigations across almost all industry sectors on possible uses of the tech-
nology, and resulted in a number of productive deployments to date. In many
of these cases, cross-organizational business processes are moved onto the
blockchainto enablebetter collaboration.
In this keynote, I will summarize and reflect on research on BPM and
blockchainoverthelastfouryears,includingmodel-drivenengineering,process
execution,andanalysisandprocessmining.Iwillalsocoverselectedusecases
andapplications,aswellasrecentinsightsonadoption.Thekeynotewillclose
with adiscussion of openresearchquestions.
