RPA Forum - Call for Papers
1st Robotic Process Automation Forum
Sevilla, Spain, September 15-17, 2020
https://congreso.us.es/bpm2020/calls/rpa/
-----------------------------------------------------
Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is a new technology, which is already
widely being applied in software engineering practice. In essence, it
relates to software agents called ‘bots’ that mimic how humans use computer
applications when performing certain tasks in a business process.

RPA is drastically more than just a technological innovation. It enables a
digital taskforce and, what is more important, a control mechanism over it.
Moreover, RPA has a generative capacity when combined with technologies
such as OCR, machine learning, and artificial intelligence, among others,
creating new ‘smart’ automation tools.

This forum aims to bring together researchers from various communities and
disciplines to discuss challenges, opportunities, and new ideas that relate
to RPA and its application to business processes in private and public
sectors. It is a unique setting where technical, business-oriented, and
human-centered perspectives will come together. The forum will incorporate
an exciting keynote, presentations of research papers, and a panel
discussion.
