[rules-dev] DEADLINE APPROACHING - 2nd edBPM 2009

FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS (***DEADLINE APPROACHING***) Deadline paper submissions: 22 May 2009 Call for Papers edBPM 09 2nd International Workshop on Event-Driven Business Process Management 7 September 2009, Ulm, Germany http://icep-edbpm09.fzi.de ------------------------------- Information about the workshop ------------------------------- The recently coined term "Event-Driven Business Process Management" (EDBPM) is nowadays an enhancement of Business Process Management (BPM) by new concepts of Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), Event Driven Architecture (EDA), Software as a Service (SaaS), Business Activity Monitoring (BAM) and Complex Event Processing (CEP). In this context BPM means a software platform which provides companies the ability to model, manage, and optimize these processes for significant gain. As an independent system, CEP is a parallel running platform that analyses and processes events. The BPM- and the CEP-platform correspond via events which are produced by the BPM-workflow engine and by the ? if distributed - IT services which are associated with the business process steps. Also events coming from different event sources in different forms can trigger a business process or influence the execution of the process or a service, which can result in another event. Even more, the correlation of these events in a particular context can be treated as a complex, business level event, relevant for the execution of other business processes or services. A business process - arbitrarily fine or coarse grained - can be seen as a service again and can be "choreographed" with other business processes or services, even between different enterprises and organisations. Loosely coupled event-driven architecture for BPM provides important benefits: - Responsiveness. Events can occur at any time from any source and Processes respond to them immediately, whenever they happen and wherever they happen. - Agility. New processes can be modeled, implemented, deployed, and optimized more quickly in response to changing business requirements. - Flexibility. Processes can span heterogeneous platforms and programming languages. Participating applications can be upgraded or changed without breaking the process model. Authors are invited to submit novel contributions in the above mentioned problem domain. Specifically, the relevant topics include, but are not limited to: - Event-driven BPM: Concepts e.g. Role of event processing in BPM, Business Events: types and representation, Event stream processing in business processes, Data- and event-driven business processes - Design-time CEP and BPM e.g. Modelling events in human-oriented tasks, Semantics/Ontologies for event-driven BPM, BPMN and event processing. - Run-time CEP and BPM e.g. Event pattern detection, BPEL and event processing, Reasoning about unknown/similar events - Applications/Use cases for event-driven BPM e.g. Event-driven monitoring/BAM , Event-driven SLA monitoring ------------------------------- Submission ------------------------------- The following types of submission are solicited: - Long paper submissions, describing substantial contributions of novel ongoing work. Long papers should be at most 12 pages long. - Short paper submissions, describing work in progress. These papers should be at most 6 pages long. Papers should be submitted in the new LNBIP format (http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-7-487211-0). 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 (Long Paper/ Short Paper). Papers can be uploaded via the workshop page on easychair, the address can be found on the workshop homepage (http://icep-edbpm09.fzi.de). Selected papers will be published in the Special issue in Journal of Software Process Improvement and Practice for selected BPM 2009 workshop papers. ------------------------------- Important Dates ------------------------------- Deadline paper submissions: 22 May 2009 Notification of acceptance: 16 June 2009 Camera-ready papers: 01 July 2009 Workshops: 7 September 2009 ------------------------------- Organizing Committee ------------------------------- Rainer von Ammon, CITT Regensburg, Germany Opher Etzion, IBM Research Haifa, Israel Heiko Ludwig, IBM TJ Watson Research Center, USA Adrian Paschke, Freie Universitaet Berlin, Germany Nenad Stojanovic, FZI Research Center for Information Technologies at the University of Karlsruhe, Germany ------------------------------- Program Committee ------------------------------- - Marco Aiello, Rijksuniversiteit of Groningen, Netherlands - Karim Ba?na, ENSIAS, Morocco - Martin Bartonitz, Saperion AG, Germany - Luciano Baresi, Politecnico di Milano, Italy - Djamal Benslimane, Universit?
