*2nd International Workshop on Reuse in Business Process Management (rBPM 2011) *http://each.uspnet.usp.br/rbpm/2011/
August 29, 2011 Clermont-Ferrand, France
In conjunction with the *9th International Conference on Business Process Management (BPM 2011)* http://bpm2011.isima.fr/
------- CALL FOR PAPERS -------
*Aims and Scope* ============= The current complexity inherent in the corporative world demands a great dynamism from the IT infrastructure in order to provide technical solutions for conducting business. Business Process Management (BPM), including its service-oriented foundation, has been providing important technological support to improve organization competitiveness. In order to increase dynamism and competitiveness, BPM can benefit from reuse approaches and techniques at several stages of business process life cycle.
The 2nd International Workshop on Reuse in Business Process Management will be dedicated to explore any type of reuse in the Business Process Management domain as well as it was its first edition. Therefore, it will be a forum to discuss systematic reuse applied to BPM at its various levels: the basic service-oriented foundation level – including issues such as service development, description, publication, discovery and selection; the service composition level – encompassing service negotiation and service aggregation; the management and monitoring upper level – including business process modeling, execution, monitoring, and contract establishment and enactment; and; the Quality of Service and Semantics orthogonal level. Moreover, the impact of reuse on business- and service-oriented engineering as well as how it can help in the design of more high-quality process models are very important topics to be discussed in this workshop.
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 new approaches and techniques can be proposed. Their use 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): - Product Lines (Product Families) for BPM - Patterns for business process and workflows - Variability descriptors applied in BPM elements - Feature modeling applied in BPM elements - Aspect-oriented extensions for BPM - Component-based Development and Service and Business-oriented Engineering - Reuse in Service-oriented Architecture (SOA) - Reuse in service development, negotiation, 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 - 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 - Case studies and experiments results related to reuse in BPM - Experiences with reuse in industry - Analysis of reuse related to Web services, WSDL, WS-BPEL - Reuse in e-Business, e-Commerce, B2B, B2C, virtual organizations - Web services, WSDL, WS-BPEL and extensions to improve reuse - Reuse related to ecosystems and business processes - Security and reuse
*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: http://www.springer.com/series/7911 http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-7-487211-0.
Two types of papers can be submitted: - Regular paper: describing advanced and mature work, whose size must be from 9 to 12 pages; - WIP paper: describing work in progress, whose size must be from 4 to 6 pages.
The "Paper Type" (Regular Paper or WIP Paper) must be informed in the submitted version immediately below the "paper title", so that it can be properly evaluated.
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.
Papers must be submitted to the website http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=rbpm2011 http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=rbpm2010.
*Proceedings & Journal Special Issue *============================= All accepted workshop papers will appear in the proceedings of "BPM 2011 Workshops" published by *Springer *(*Lecture Notes*). As this volume will appear after the conference, there will be informal proceedings during the workshop. Authors of accepted papers must register for the BPM 2011 conference.
Following the initiative of the first edition of the rBPM workshop, selected papers will be considered for extension and publication in a special issue of the *International Journal of Business Process Integration and Management* (*IJBPIM*) published by *InderScience*.
*Important Dates *============= - Paper submission deadline: 20 May 2011 - Notification of acceptance: 01 July 2011 - Camera ready: 22 July 2011 - Workshop day: 29 August 2011
*Workshop Format *=============== Besides the presentation of selected papers, there will be an invited talk by Prof. Dr. *Jan Mendling* from Humboldt-University Berlin, Germany - whose theme will be announced later.
