I. Workshop Theme and Goals
---------------------------
Since the advent of business process reengineering in the 1990s,  
modeling and optimization of business processes has become a critical 
factor in business as well as in non-profit and government 
organizations. Today, with many forms of interorganizational cooperation 
in the form of e-business, outsourcing, and other kinds of value webs, 
business process management and coordination process management are 
crucial for the survival of organizations. As a result, information 
systems are required to manipulate not only data but also processes. 
Process-oriented information systems (POIS) are systems that can provide 
data support as well as process support to organizations. Examples are 
workflow management systems, ERP systems, and systems for 
cross-organizational coordination management.
Some of the challenges facing POIS include requirements management, 
performance monitoring, service level agreements and governance. The 1st 
International Workshop on  Empirical Research in Process-Oriented 
Information Systems (ER-POIS 2010) aims to provide a platform for 
exchanging empirical research results about POIS problems and solutions.
The workshop takes an empirical perspective, which means that we will 
not solicit papers that propose solutions, new techniques or methods, 
but solicit papers with empirical research results about existing 
problems or implemented solutions, or about empirical validations of 
proposed solutions. We assume the solutions have been specified 
elsewhere, possibly in earlier papers.
We encourage the use of any research method, ranging from experimental 
research to surveys, case studies and action research, provided that a 
discussion of the validity of the method and of the results obtained 
with the method is included in the paper.
-------------------
II. Workshop Format
-------------------
The workshop will comprise presentations of accepted papers and tool 
reports. Submitted papers will be reviewed by at least three members of 
the program committee, and will be evaluated on the basis of 
significance, originality, technical quality, and exposition. Papers 
should clearly establish their research contribution and shall 
particularly address the relation to transferring methods and 
technologies into practice.
Accepted papers will appear in the joint CAiSE workshop proceedings 
which will be distributed in the electronic library CEUR 
http://ceur-ws.org (and on USB sticks at CAiSE). The proceedings will 
have an ISSN number and will be accessible for everyone on the CEUR 
website. The authors will keep the copyright of their papers. At least 
one author for each accepted paper must register for the workshop and 
present the paper.
-----------------------
III. Submitting a Paper
-----------------------
Prospective authors are invited to submit papers for presentation in any 
of the areas listed in the Topics section. Only papers in English will 
be accepted. Different paper types are distinguished. Length of full 
papers must not exceed 12 pages (there is no possibility to buy 
additional pages). Position papers and tool reports should be no longer 
than 6 pages. Papers should be submitted in the Springer LNCS format.
Papers have to present original research contributions not concurrently 
submitted elsewhere. The title page must contain a short abstract, a 
classification of the topics covered, preferably using the list of 
topics above, and an indication of the submission category (full paper | 
position paper | tool report).
Papers should be submitted in PDF format electronically via the EasyChair:
