Aims and Scope
Recently, organisations have been undergoing a thorough transformation towards highly flexible and agile collaborations. The business processes of different organisations are required to be integrated seamlessly, while the constructed business process network dynamically evolves to adapt to the continuously changing business conditions. On the way to fully support such flexible collaborations, issues such as privacy and security, reliability and flexibility, scalability and agility, process validation, QoS guarantees, etc., place challenges in front. Therefore, more academic research, facilitating infrastructure, protocols and standards are being expected to shift current business process management for supporting collaborative business processes.
The 1st and 2nd collaborative business process workshops were successfully held in Brisbane, Australia, and Milan, Italy, in 2007 and 2008, respectively. The selected papers from collaborative business process were recommended to special issues in Information System Frontiers and Software Process Improvement and Practice Journals.
All accepted papers will be published by Springer as a volume in their series Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing. Selected papers of CBP 2009 are expected to be invited to a special issue of an international journal.
Suggested Topics
The workshop will cover the scope of research relevant to collaborative business processes, including, but not limited to, the following topics:
- Contracting for collaborative business processes
- Process discovery in collaborative business processes
- Process composition in collaborative business processes
- Service matching in collaborative business processes
- Change management in collaborative business processes

- Confidentiality management in collaborative business processes
