SUPER Project

SUPER is financed from the Europen Union 6th Framework Programme, within Information Society Technologies (IST) priority, under contract no. FP6-026850. More on the project can be found [here]

The major objective of SUPER is to raise Business Process Management (BPM) to the business level, where it belongs, from the IT level where it mostly resides now. This objective requires that BPM is accessible at the level of semantics of business experts.

Semantic Web and, in particular, Semantic Web Services (SWS) technology offer the promise of integrating applications at the semantic level. By combining SWS and BPM, and developing one consolidated technology SUPER will create horizontal ontologies which describe business processes and vertical telecommunications oriented ontologies to support domain-specific annotation.

Therefore, this project aims at providing a semantic-based and context-aware framework, based on Semantic Web Services technology that acquires, organises, shares and uses the knowledge embedded in business processes within existing IT systems and software, and within employees' heads, in order to make companies more adaptive.

Call for papers

It is our pleasure to invite you to submit your work to BIS 2008 conference SUPER PhD Programme session. It will take place in May 2008 in Innsbruck and will be organized by Poznan University of Economics as part of the dissemination activities within SUPER project.

The goal of the SUPER Phd Programme session is to create an opportunity for doctoral students to test their research ideas, present their current progress and future plans, and most of all to receive constructive criticism and insights related to their future work and career perspectives. PhD Programme Mentors will be assigned to each student to provide individual feedback and advice on the paper, the focus of the work and further developments.

The SUPER PhD Programme Session of BIS 2008 solicits submission of PhD research papers dealing with various issues important from the perspective of the SUPER project.

Who can participate

Session is open to all students. We particularly invite students not involved in SUPER PhD programme ([here]) but interested in the topics related to the Semantic Business Process Management.
