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.

Topics

BPM and web services,
BPM ontologies and the semantic web,
BPM metamodels and standards,
