Workflow technology and : management is an emerging research area in engineering and business. : Major software vendors such as Oracle and SAP are now including a workflow : component in their software suites. As a result, managing workflow : technology becomes an urgent topic facing corporate managers. : : E-commerce applications of workflow technology are more challenging than : enterprise workflow applications because e-commerce requires process : automation across organizational boundaries. An inter-organizational : environment makes workflow automation issues such as heterogeneity, : integration, interoperability, scalability, and security, much more : important. : : In this mini track, we concentrate on workflow technology and management : in e-commerce. Sample topic areas for the mini track include the : following: : : * Implementation of workflow technology in e-commerce systems : * The effectiveness of workflow technology in e-commerce : * Workflow-based architectures for e-commerce implementation : * Supply chain integration through workflow automation : * Transformation of procurement process : * Workflow system deployment in inter-organizational environment : * Integration of manual, semi-automated, and fully automated sub-workflow : systems : * Economic tradeoffs in the adoption of workflow technology : * Internet-based workflow systems : * Organizational modeling in workflow systems : * Flexibility issues in workflow systems : * Light weight workflow management systems : * XML applications in workflow technology : * UML and workflow modeling : : We invite papers that address any of the areas listed above, as well as : any related issues. A range of research methodologies including : conceptual, case analysis, implementation, lab experiments, and surveys : would be appropriate. : : Mini Track Co-Chairs : -------------------- : : Dr. J.
