ABPSM 2011 - First International Workshop on Alignment of Business Process and Security Modelling (ABPSM'11)

Goal
The ABPSM workshop will serve as a forum to gather researchers and practitioners in the field of Business Process and Security Modelling. Often, business process modelling on the one hand, and IS security issues on the other hand, stand out as quite separate research issues, seldom addressed together in the same research projects or publications. The main goal of this workshop is to create an arena where researchers in these two domains could meet and build a common understanding about the interplay between business processes and security. The workshop should therefore be of interest both for researchers who have already done research combining business process modelling and security issues, and for researchers who have primarily worked in one of these areas but want to learn more about the other.

Topics
(including but not limited to)

security challenges in business process management;
inclusion of security issues in business process modelling techniques;

security and SOA;
security challenges in enterprise IS (e.g., ERP, SCM);
security challenges in e-commerce, e-gov, etc.
