CALL FOR PAPERS FOR A SPECIAL ISSUE ON
INTERNET-ENABLED WORKFLOW MANAGEMENT
Submission Deadline: April 15th, 2002
The use of workflow management systems for the automation of business processes promises significant efficiency gains for the enterprise through the automated coordination of activities, process participants and the integration of applications. While workflow management technology has found widespread acceptance since its inception in the late 1970s, in many cases the use of these systems is limited to internal processes of the enterprise. Recently, the use of workflow management systems in cross-organizational scenarios, such as b2b-transactions, has received significant attention in both industry and academia. On the business side, the standardization of XML-based business data exchanges (such as eb-XML, SOAP or Wf-XML) enables companies to integrate their processes independent of the underlying technology. On the technical side, the use of application architecture frameworks such as CORBA or J2EE enables designers of workflow applications to integrate both legacy systems and internet technology with relative ease. As a result, businesses have different options to 'e-enable' their processes with no clear guidance on how to find the most suitable solution for their needs. A framework for the design and application of internet-enabled workflow management systems could help bridge this gap.
Papers are invited for a special issue of the Business Process Management Journal (BPMJ) on 'Internet-enabled Workflow Management'. The aim is to publish original work highlighting current issues surrounding the areas of e-Business process automation, cross-organizational workflows and the use of internet technology for the design of workflow applications. Conceptual and analytical models, strategic frameworks, surveys, and case studies focusing on technical, organizational and economic issues with regard to internet-enabled workflow management systems are welcome from both the academic and industrial community. Contributed papers may deal with, but are not limited to:
* Modeling Methodologies for Internet-ready Processes * Cross-Organizational Workflow Management * Internet-based Process Integration * Standards-based Process Automation * Monitoring and Controlling of Inter-Organizational Processes * Internet Technologies for Process Automation * Architecture and Design of e-Business Workflow Applications
Manuscripts should be 3000-5000 words in length, single-spaced, full justified and in A4 Word format. All contributions are subjected to a double-blind review by at least two experts of the field. Manuscripts, following the BPMJ guidelines (http://www.emeraldinsight.com/bpmj.htm), should be sent as two Word file attachments to the guest editors Edward A. Stohr (estohr@stevens-tech.edu) and Michael zur Muehlen (ismizu@wi.uni-muenster.de) by April 15th, 2002. The first file should contain the title page giving the name(s) and full address(es) of the author(s), the title of the paper, its word count (maximum 5000 words), 5 keywords, and an abstract of 200 words. The second file should contain the title of the paper, 5 keywords, a 200-word abstract, and the full body of the paper. Any information that reveals the identity of the author(s) should be removed. If you have any questions about the format of your submission of would like to receive guidance with regard to the fit of your submission, please contact the guest editors in advance.
