CALL FOR PAPERS -------
Aims and Scope: Academia and Industry
=============================
Current complexity of
corporative world demands dynamic and flexible IT
infrastructure to provide technical solutions for
conducting business. Business Process Management (BPM)
has been providing important technological support to
improve organization competitiveness. In order to
increase dynamism and competitiveness, BPM can benefit
from reuse techniques and tools at several stages of
business process life cycle.
The 3rd International Workshop on Reuse in Business
Process Management will be dedicated to explore any type
of reuse in the BPM domain, taking into account both the
results of research in academia and the results of
applications in industry.
It will be a forum to discuss systematic reuse applied
to BPM at its various levels and different life cycle
stages, including:
(1) basic service-oriented foundation level: including
service development, description, publication, discovery,
selection, negotiation, and aggregation;
(2) management and monitoring upper level: including
business process modeling, execution, monitoring,
administration, and optimization.
Moreover, the impact of reuse on business- and
service-oriented engineering as well as analyzing how it
can help in the design of higher quality process models
are very important topics to be discussed.
Different existing reuse approaches and techniques can
be extended to be applied to this fairly new domain,
including: software product line or software product
families; variability descriptors; design patterns such as
feature modeling; aspect-orientation; and component-based
development. In addition, completely novel approaches and
techniques can be proposed. Their application must also be
discussed, preferably under experimentation as well as
results analysis.
Suggested Topics
=============
Possible topics for the workshop papers are (but are
not restricted to) - related to both research in academia
or applications in industry:
- Product Lines (Product Families) for BPM
- Patterns for business process and workflows

composition
- Quality of Service (QoS) and Reuse
- Reuse in SaaS (Software as a Service) approaches
- Reusable asset libraries for BPM
- Reuse in semantic Web services
- Ontologies in business process modeling
- Empirical findings related to reuse in the BPM domain
- Surveys related to reuse in the BPM domain
- Reuse in business process modeling, execution,
monitoring
- Reuse in electronic contract establishment

Submission Guidelines
=====================
Papers should be submitted in English language, in PDF
format and in the LNBIP (Lecture Notes in Business
Information Processing) format. Instructions for authors
are available at the Springer Web site (
http://www.springer.com/series/7911).
Papers can be submitted into two tracks: "Research
Paper" or "Application Paper". For both paper types, its
size must range from 9 to 12 pages.
Papers submitted must contain, below title, the
information: "Research Paper" or "Application Paper".
Papers have to present original research contributions
not concurrently submitted elsewhere. All contributions
will be evaluated based on originality, technical quality
and relevance to the workshop themes.
All accepted workshop papers will appear in the LNBIP
Proceedings of "BPM 2012 Workshops" published by Springer.
As this volume will appear after the conference, hard
copies of the proceedings will be shipped to all
registered participants about four months after the
workshops. Authors of accepted papers must register for
the BPM 2012 conference.
Publications
=========
Workshop Proccedings: All accepted workshop papers will

Journal Special Issue: Following the initiative of the
previous editions of the rBPM workshops, selected papers
will be considered for extension and publication in a
