BPSC 2012 - 5th International Conference on Business Process and Services Computing

Topics of interest include theoretical and/or empirical contributions related to business process and services computing. Although the process-centric paradigm, in its current manifestation, benefits greatly from web services and SOA, the contributions can potentially address the BPM at an abstraction level above services, SOA or any other implementation toolset. However, and consistently with the fact that business processes are a layer on top of the SOA, the contributions concentrating on the services computing should made themselves relevant to the BPM in one form or another. Below is (unavoidably incomplete) list of topics:
The Process-Centric Computing Paradigm
Business Process Management (BPM)
Business Process Management Systems (BPMS)
Business Process Modeling Languages
Business Process Execution Languages
Business Process Reengineering (in the BPM context)

Enterprise Integration and E-Business Interoperability (in the BPM context)
Web Services and SOA (in the BPM context)
Process-Application Independence
Enterprise vs. B2B Process Management
