Abstract

The study is motivated to explore the collaboration between the authors, the patterns which are being used by the authors and the areas on which the authors are working. The end product of the research is a set of generic guidelines for the field of business process management. Business process management conference, which was one of the most famous conference is been used to develop the dataset for the study. Business process management conference started since 2003 so the papers since 2003 till 2016 were collected to create the dataset. The collaboration of authors is been studied by applying certain filters over the raw data of business process management conference. The research pattern of different authors was been studied individually from each paper and later they were all combined by identifying the common or similar aspects of the processes to form a set of frameworks. The study has created a generic set of five frameworks. Each for a specific domain of business process management i.e. business process similarity, business process abstraction, business process model redesign, business process monitoring, and business process mining. The study also provides some key facts about the most collaborative authors and the domains on which the authors or the research community is mainly focusing.
