Introduction

The I-KNOW 2006 Special Track on Business Process Oriented Knowledge Infrastructures is the third in a series. The event aims to critically discuss new theories, concepts, ideas, instruments and systems that address support for knowledge intensive business processes in organizations.

Background

Knowledge work in organisations becomes increasingly complex, interdependent and dynamic today. This development co-occurs with the emergence of sophisticated and advanced information and knowledge technologies that promise to make organizations more efficient. However, the application of these novel technologies for the effective support of knowledge workers in organizations is far from being well understood and a current research topic. The special track on Business Process Oriented Knowledge Infrastructures BPOKI’06 aims to address these challenges by increasing understanding about knowledge work, knowledge intensive business processes and technological and organizational instruments and systems for supporting them. Topics include but are not limited to:

* Identification and modeling of knowledge work and knowledge intensive business processes * Identification and modeling of knowledge workers' context * Design and development of knowledge intensive business processes and knowledge infrastructures * Fundamental technological instruments for business process oriented knowledge infrastructures * Categories, performance indexes and concepts for knowledge intensive business processes * Support for and improvement of knowledge intensive business processes * Process- and knowledge reuse in business process oriented knowledge infrastructures * Quality and quality attributes (including e.g. flexibility, agility, usability) in knowledge intensive business processes and knowledge infrastructures * Agent-oriented and domain-specific approaches to support for knowledge intensive business processes * Theory forming and development for the domain of business process oriented knowledge infrastructures

Based on these topics, submissions may focus on, but are not limited to: Semantic Process and Knowledge Modeling, Workflow Management Systems, Case Based Systems, Process-Oriented Information Retrieval, User Context Identification, Process Simulation, -Mining and -Optimization, Pattern Identification and Analysis, Agile- and Agent Oriented Systems, Decision Support Systems and Knowledge Portals.

Type of Submissions

BPOKI’06 seeks contributions that introduce novel ideas and theories, conceptual frameworks, taxonomies and ontologies, technical applications and solutions, experiences as well critical arguments and discussions concerning the topics of this special track.

Target Group

The topics mentioned above equally address researchers and practitioners. BPOKI'06 aims to present and critically discuss latest work to increase understanding and gain new insights about the problem domain. The event will be held in English.
