Call for Papers (CBP 2008) The 2nd International Workshop on Collaborative Business Processes To be held in conjunction with the 6th Int'l Conf on Business Process Management (BPM'08) 1 September 2008 Milan, Italy

http://www.ict.swin.edu.au/conferences/cbp2007/

Aims and Scope -------------- Recently, organisations have been undergoing a thorough transformation towards highly flexible and agile collaborations. The business processes of different organisations are required to be integrated seamlessly, while the constructed business process network dynamically evolves to adapt to the continuously changing business conditions. On the way to fully support such flexible collaborations, issues such as privacy and security, reliability and flexibility, scalability and agility, process validation, QoS guarantees, etc., place challenges in front. Therefore, more academic research, facilitating infrastructure, protocols and standards are being expected to shift current business process management for supporting collaborative business processes.

The 1st CBP workshop was successfully held in Brisbane, Australia, last year, followed by a special issue on collaborative business processes, in Information System Frontiers. With these, the 2nd CBP workshop continues to stimulate the exchange of ideas and experiences of researchers, practitioners, and engineers working in the area of collaborative business process management.

All accepted papers will be published by Springer as a volume in their series Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing. The best paper of CBP 2008 will be invited to a special issue of the "Software Process Improvement and Practice" Journal.

Suggested Topics ---------------- The workshop will cover the scope of research relevant to collaborative business processes, including, but not limited to, the following topics:

* Contracting for business collaboration * Process discovery in business collaboration * Process composition in business collaboration * Service matching in business collaboration * Change management in business collaboration * Process evolvement in business collaboration * Process migration in business collaboration * Privacy and confidentiality management in business collaboration * Process continuity in business collaboration * Autonomy in business collaboration * Authorisation management in business collaboration * Collaborative business process modelling * Verification and validation of collaborative business process models * Performance assessment on collaborative business processes * Monitoring and tracking over collaborative business processes * Architectures and infrastructures for collaborative business processes * Protocols for collaborative business processes * Choreography and orchestration in collaborative business processes * Collaborative business processes in service oriented computing environments, such as Web service, Grid, P2P, etc. * Collaborative business process applications, such as supply chain and virtual organisation alliance * Studies on business process management or service oriented architecture (e.g. current difficulties, unsolved issues, etc. ) * Case studies on business process management or service oriented architecture * Other facilitating technologies for or experiences with business process management or service oriented architecture
