XML4BPM 09

=5th International Workshop on XML Integration and Transformation for Business Process Management=

Context
XML technologies and web services are gaining increasing attention in the business process management community. Several XML-based standards have emerged that support different aspects of intra- and interorganizational integration such as composition and choreography. In this workshop, we aim to investigate new technologies and approaches including semantic web, service computing, Web 2.0, and model-driven development in their relationship to business process management. Papers on ongoing and completed research, state of the art surveys, and reports on practical application, and empirical findings are welcome. The workshop aims to identify current research directions as well as industry trends.

Submitted papers will be evaluated on the basis of significance, originality and technical quality. Authors are requested to prepare submissions as close as possible to final camera-ready versions following the LNCS/LNBIP format specified by Springer-Verlag (http://www.springer.com/east/home/computer/lncs?SGWID=5-164-7-487211-0). Papers should clearly establish the research contribution and the relation to previous research. The submission should clearly emphasize the discussion aspects relevant to the workshop. Members of an international and solid program committee will review all submissions. Each paper will be reviewed by 3 PC members guaranteeing that only papers presenting high quality and innovative research and practice issues in areas relevant to the workshop theme will be accepted.
