Abstract:
Business Services Networks (BSN's) are IT infrastructure
intermediaries where Web Services can be securely published, reused,
and invoked based on Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) standards.
They allow vendors to sell their software as a service and offer
business users a secure network to compose complex business processes.
With proper permissions, users can automate several Business Process
Management (BPM) functions such as: (1) analyze their requirements
and match them to network resources, (2) model their business
processes in a complete architecture, (3) define key operational
conditions for processes, (4) execute their processes on the grid,
and (5) monitor and manage processes in real-time. In addition, BSN's
extend the Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) of each network participant
by providing reliable Business to Business (B2B) transaction
management and Service Level Agreements (SLA). They also offer
exceptional profit opportunities to vendors based on Utility
Computing, On Demand, or Pay-Per-Use business models. They
effectively represent a new form of e-marketplace where IT resources
and business services are the commodities exchanged.
Scope:
We invite papers that address both business and technical issues of
BSN's from various perspectives, including BSN operators, software
vendors, business adopters, developers, and end-users. We encourage
contributions from both academia and industry. Topics of interest
include, but are not limited to, the following:
1. BSN Operators:
a. Business Models and Architectures
b. Spin-Offs from Outsourcing Providers
c. Mobile Operators and Grid Services
d. Industry-Specific B2B Integration Alliances
e. Inter-BSN Alliances and Interoperability
2. Software Vendors:
a. Market Value for Software Vendors
b. SOA-Enablement of Software Vendors
c. Pricing and Marketing On Demand Software
d. Service Level Agreements (SLA)
e. Software Vendors from Developing Countries
3. Business Adopters:
a. Comparing IT Sourcing Models (BSN, ASP, etc.)
b. International Provisioning and Adoption Barriers
c. Real-Time Transaction Monitoring
d. Quality of Service (QoS)
e. Accounting Systems for Utility Computing
4. Developers:
a. Process Oriented and Model Driven Architectures (UML, BPMN, MDA,
etc.)
b. Synthesizing Process, Data, and Component Models (MOF, BPSM, etc.)
c. Process Specifications and Execution (WS-CDL, BPEL4WS, etc.)
d. Composite Processes with Messages, Documents, and Services
e. ebSOA, Business Patterns, and Universal Business Language (UBL)
5. End-Users:
a. Service and Process Oriented Application Development Methods
b. Intelligent Automated Process Discovery and Composition
c. Semantic Web, Ontology Applications, and Domain Specialization
d. User Specialization and Automated Coordination
e. Security, Privacy, and Trust
Keynote Speaker:
To be announced.
Paper Submission:
Please, limit your paper to 8 pages, following the IEEE Computer
Society Press Proceedings Author Guidelines:
http://www.computer.org/cspress/instruct.htm.
We only accept paper submissions in PDF format through our review
system: http://elab.njit.edu/bsn.
The submission of an abstract is handled by the same system. This is
optional and authors are free to submit either or both an abstract
and their full paper anytime until January 24, 2005.
While our system is a "double-blind" review process, we are happy to
confirm that we also accept papers that are formatted for a "one-
side-blind" review. In that case, while authors are asked to remove
all author information in the paper and PDF file, it may be possible
that their work and references clearly reveal the author's identity.
We want to reassure authors of "one-side-blind" papers that their
work is equally welcomed to the workshop. Our reviewers will be asked
to reveal any potential conflict of interest, and in that case they
will be assigned other papers. As well, all reviewers will be asked
to review both types of papers equally without any discrimination.
For any other questions regarding this workshop or its submission and
review processes, please feel free to contact workshop chairs
directly.

The enhanced version of the selected papers published in the workshop
will be invited for publication in:

International Journal of Cases on Electronic Commerce (IJCEC),

Hi,
Looks like many people will not be making it to GGF13 in Korea, so we
will not hold a session at the next GGF. However, as we discussed in
our previous meetings, we are planning to have a one day workshop at
GGF14 so please stay tuned.

{Apologies for cross-postings; please send to interested colleagues.}
Hi,
Please join us in Hong Kong on March 29th, 2005 for the IEEE EEE05
International Workshop on Business Services Networks (BSN) -
http://elab.njit.edu/bsn.html.
Business Services Networks (BSN's) provide infrastructure where Web
Services can be securely published, reused, and invoked based on Service
Oriented Architecture (SOA) standards. They allow vendors to sell their
software as a service and offer business users a secure network to
compose complex business processes. BSN's extend the Enterprise Service
Bus (ESB) of each network participant by providing reliable Business to
Business (B2B) transaction management and Service Level Agreements
(SLA).
We invite readers of the GGF WFM Research Group mailing list to submit a
paper for this workshop. We are particularly interested in hearing about
how BSN's can properly integrate emerging standards into their
architecture. We also welcome industry case studies about implementing
the SOA using BSN's or other forms of On Demand software providers.
Please see our CFP for details on using our online submission site.
Thanks for your attention and looking forward to reading your papers.
Best Regards,
Stephane

Hi,
As most of you know the next GGF is scheduled for March 14-17 2005 in
Seoul, Korea.
Unfortunately, at this time it looks like the chairs of the Workflow
Management group will not be able to attend GGF13. However, if there are
a good number of the people from the list that will attend maybe someone
would like to organize the session. Please send your thoughts to the
list.
Thank you and Happy New Year!
