CALL FOR PAPERS

Third IEEE Workshop on Agile Cooperative Process-Aware Information Systems (ProGility 2009) http://is.tm.tue.nl/staff/heshuis/progility/

PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINE: February 20, 2009

Held at the 18th IEEE International Workshops on Enabling Technologies: Infrastructures for Collaborative Enterprises (WETICE-2009), Groningen, The Netherlands, June 29- July 1, 2009 http://www.wetice.org

Workshop theme ---------------------------------------

The economic success of an enterprise more and more depends on its ability to react to changes in its environment in a quick and flexible way. Business trends such as increasing product and service variability, fast time-to-market, and increasing division of labor along a global supply chain of goods and services force enterprises to collaborate with each other in networks that are dynamic, flexible, ad-hoc, and adaptive. Thus enterprises are developing a growing interest in new concepts, systems, and solutions which help them to flexibly align their organizational structures, business processes, and supporting information systems to these new requirements and to optimize interactions with customers and business partners. While there has been major progress in disciplines that are interested in structured and unstructured intra-organizational business processes, the agile enterprise is still a vision. Agility in this context refers to the ability of an enterprise to rapidly set up new business processes and projects in order to quickly adapt to changes in the environment. To support these changes, traditional enterprises have to align their existing information systems while virtual enterprises need to customize and integrate the individual partner processes. In order to meet its business objectives, the agile enterprise continuously re-aligns its business processes as well as the interactions with its partners and customers to meet the current requirements.

Building upon the success of last year's workshop, the goal of the fourth ProGility workshop is to bring together practitioners and researchers from different communities such as BPM, software engineering, service-oriented computing, artificial intelligence, and CSCW/Groupware who share an interest in flexibility of cooperative process-aware information systems and team support in both an intra- and inter-organizational setting. The workshop aims at discussing the current state of ongoing research and sharing practical experiences. In addition the workshop is seeking for papers on tool and/or technology comparisons. Submitted papers will be evaluated on the basis of significance, originality and technical quality. Papers should clearly establish the research contribution and the relation to previous research. The workshop will also provide opportunity for demonstration sessions, where participant can present advanced prototypes based on their research.

Topics ---------------------------------------

Workshop topics include, but are not limited to:

* ad-hoc establishment of process-aware collaborations, * adaptive processes, * agile management of business processes, * autonomic processes, * configurable processes, * cross-organizational processes, * data-driven processes (e.g.,case handling), * dynamic composition of processes, * electronic contracts, * emergent workflows, * evolving choreographies, * flexible groupware, * knowledge-intensive processes, * tool and technology comparisons, * workflow change and exception handling, * process evolution, * process interoperability, * process lifecycle management, * process monitoring, * process mining and learning, * process security and conformance, * processes matching and similarity of processes,

and solutions related to these topics in terms of:

* architectures, * infrastructures (middleware), * methods and tools, * patterns, * semantics, * user interfaces.

Important Dates ---------------------------------------

Deadline for paper submission: February 20, 2009 Decision to paper authors: March 13, 2009 Final papers in PDF format to IEEE: April 10, 2009 WETICE-2009: June 29 - July 1, 2009

For accepted papers at least one of the authors has to register and participate in WETICE'09.

Submission Guidelines ---------------------------------------

Papers must be written in English. Each paper will be reviewed by at least three program committee members. Papers should contain original contributions not published or submitted elsewhere, and should refer to related state-of-the-art work. Papers describing work of progress are explicitly welcome. Authors of accepted papers must present the paper at WETICE in order have the paper included in the conference proceedings published by the IEEE Computer Press. Papers must be formatted in the IEEE Proceedings Format (LaTeX formatting macros, Word format) which is single spaced, two columns, 10pt Times/Roman font. Length of full papers must not exceed 6 pages (IEEE Proceeding style, double column including figures, tables and references). Position papers and tool reports should be no longer than 2 pages. Papers should include a title, the name and affiliation of each author, an abstract of up to 150 words and no more than eight keywords. All submissions should be electronic (in PDF). Please upload first your abstract and then your paper via the submission system at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ProGility2009.
