This transformation requires the adoption of more collaborative working practices based on the integration of business processes within a wide community of business partners, suppliers, vendors, and public bodies. In parallel to this trend, service oriented technologies are transforming the web from an infrastructure for sharing information to a place where the networked organizations can meet to integrate their business interests. Service Oriented Computing (SOC) is currently the most promising technology supporting the development and execution of business processes that are distributed among the most disparate entities, both within an organization and across organizational borders. However, a practical industry-wide adoption of web services, to support the collaboration among networked organizations and the integration of their business process, is still an open challenge. This challenge can be addressed only by a tight integration of service-oriented development within new business models and new ways of management that are able to exploit new technological solutions. Moreover, web service technology is still emerging, and therefore their industry-wide adoption requires to inject research results within real industry practices, but, even more important, to drive research activities and roadmaps according to industrial needs. The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers, practitioners, and experts in business models and management and to promote cross-fertilization among their competencies, focusing on the usage of service oriented technologies to support the Business Processes Integration (BPI). The goal is to build bridges and convergences among the complementary views of experts in IT and service oriented technologies and experts in management, and the different approaches of academy and industry, to the problem of business processes integration. The emphasis of the workshop will be on the demonstration of the practical application of research results, and on the description of industrial case studies. --- FOCUS --- The workshop will seek contributions in the field of SOC for BPI. Papers can take the form of detailed case studies, technical white papers, new methodologies, new standard specifications, benchmarking models, or any other contributions demonstrating innovative applications of SOC for BPI. Topics may include, but are not limited to: 1. Development Methodologies and Tools: a. Service/Process Modeling, Deployment, and Testing b. Enterprise Architecture and Service/Process Definition c. Model Driven Architecture and Service/Process Reuse d. Process-Oriented Messaging Infrastructures e. Distributed Business Process Management 2. Adoption of Advanced Technologies: a. Intelligent Process Discovery and Integration b. Service/Process Composition c. Event Driven Architecture and Process Automation d. Integration of Services, Messaging, and Connectors e. Business Activity Monitoring and Quality of Service 3. Comparison of Implementation Platforms: a. Business Process Management b. Enterprise Service Bus c. Business Services Networks The workshop will be highly interactive, and commentators will be exploited foster the discussion among participants with different backgrounds: each presentation will be followed by a short presentation of comments from a participant belonging to different areas of expertise, in order to bridge the ideas of the paper with a different viewpoint (e.g., each presentation on IT solutions will be followed by comments from industry experts and, vice-versa, presentations on case studies will be followed by comments on the research and technological challenges). --- SUBMISSIONS --- Authors are invited to submit original, previously unpublished contributions. Papers should be written in English using the Springer's LNCS style (http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html) and must not exceed 15 pages. Shorter papers, presenting preliminary results, are welcome. Please submit papers electronically, using the workshop submission site (http://elab.njit.edu/sobpisubmit) Accepted papers will be published on-line and made available in hard copy to the workshop participants. For accepted submissions, at least one author must register for the workshop in order for the paper to appear in the proceedings and to be scheduled in the workshop program. --- ORGANIZERS --- * Stéphane Gagnon, New Jersey Institute of Technology, USA * Heiko Ludwig, IBM Watson Research Center, USA * Marco Pistore, Univeristy of Trento, Italy * Wasim Sadiq, SAP Research Brisbane, Australia --- CONTACT INFORMATION --- Please direct all inquiries to <sobpi(a)dit.unitn.it>.

(Apologies for cross posting) **************************************************************************** JOINT CALL FOR PAPERS BSN'06 - SoS4CO'06 2nd International Workshop on Business Service Networks 2nd International Workshop on Service oriented Solutions for Cooperative Organizations June 26, 2006, San Francisco, California, USA http://elab.njit.edu/bsnsos4co in conjunction with IEEE Joint Conference on E-Commerce Technology (CEC-06) and on Enterprise Computing, E-Commerce and E-Services (EEE-06) http://linux.ece.uci.edu/cec06/ **************************************************************************** Business Services Networks (BSN's) are business networks, that is, a group of cooperative organizations either within an enterprise or between different enterprises, which are based on services. In that context, a service represents a set of encapsulated IT components implementing specific business functions. The service interface is self-describing in order to publish, discover and dynamically bind services using an underlying Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), most often implemented using Web Services standards. However, this flexibility with regard to loose-coupling and the interoperability between cooperative organizations is being applied in current projects, especially in industrial projects. This workshop concentrates on all facets of BSN's and the architecture of service-oriented solutions supporting inter-enterprise collaboration, throughout the entire collaboration life-cycle. This includes the consideration of business strategies for the establishment of a BSN with cooperative organizations from different SOA environments and maturity, as well as the design of such cooperation and collaboration starting with the requirements until the final instantiation of the collaboration by discovering, composing, deploying, and invoking services. Based on the composed BSN, the cooperation and collaboration brings new research from the perspectives of business (e.g. provisioning) and technical (e.g. transactions), e.g. monitoring and auditing in a network of organizations. We invite papers addressing business and technical issues of BSN's from various perspectives, including development strategies of new BSNs, design of BSNs, as well as management and execution. We encourage contributions from both academia and industry. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: BSN Strategy * Business models * Integration alliances and interoperability * Value added for BSN vendors and adopters * Mobile operators, grid services, and utility computing BSN Design * Service-Oriented solutions * Requirements engineering for BSN * Ontologies, document structures, messaging formats, etc. * Match-making of choreographies of different cooperative organizations * Match-making of semantic service descriptions * Negotiating of inter-organizational business processes and workflows * Service discovery on advanced registry concepts beyond UDDI * Quality of Service (QoS) and Cost of Service (CoS) negotiation * Role of Model-Driven Architectures (MDA) for BSN BSN Management & Execution * SOA-Enablement of software vendors * Service Level Agreements (SLA) * International provisioning and adoption barriers * Pricing and marketing on BSN demand software * Monitoring and enforcement of Quality of Service (QoS) * Distributed stateless and stateful transactions * Role of security, privacy and trust in BSN * Auditing of service evolution Submissions: Authors are invited to submit original and significant research contributions in the aforementioned areas. All submissions will be peer-reviewed by the members of the international program committee. We accept papers in DOC, PDF, and PS format. Submit papers via http://elab.njit.edu/bsnsos4co/submit. It is planned to select the best papers for a journal special issue. Further details will be announced soon. Registration: Please use the CEC/EEE site to register: http://linux.ece.uci.edu/cec06.
