Second CFP for
Workshop on Requirements Engineering for Business Process Support (REBPS'03)
Klagenfurt/Velden, Austria, June 17, 2003 (Attached to CAiSE'03)

Abstract
-------------
It is well known that it is difficult (if ever possible) to introduce
business process management without having a computer system to support
business processes. Such a system should not only assist human beings in
completing elementary tasks (activities) but also help in driving business
processes towards their goals. Requirements engineering (RE) for business
process support (BPS) systems somewhat differs from RE for traditional
business (information) systems in, at least, two aspects. First, a
traditional data-model (conceptual model) does not give enough information
for building a system, a detailed process model should be built in
addition. Second, a traditional business information system is, normally,
designed to support a business as is (but more effectively), while a BPS
system should be designed to support a new way of running the business, the
one which is not possible without the system. The latter leads to
substantial requirement changes even long after the system has been
deployed. This workshop is meant as a forum for discussing the problem of
RE for BPS. It is the forth workshop in a series of international workshops
on business process modeling; the main topics this time are: (a) what kinds
of business process models are suitable as a basis for building
computerized support, and (b) how to build such models in practice (based
on the information from the experts). In addition, any other topics that
concern RE for BPS are of interest for discussions at this forum. The
results of the discussions will be summarized in a working document that
will be produced after the workshop. A selection of the best papers will be
considered for publishing in a special issue of an international journal.
The workshop is designed as a meeting place for both researchers and
practitioners in the fields of business development, and business
application software development.

Submissions
-------------------
Two kinds of position papers would be accepted. The first kind is a
submission for making a presentation. Such submission should be devoted to
a practical or theoretical topic of RE for BPS. The second kind is a
submission for participating in the discussions. Such submission should
describe the relevant experience of the participant, and it should explain
in what topics the submitter is interested in and why. Submissions (no more
than 5 pages) should be sent by e-mail to [log in to unmask] by March
31st. Accepted submissions for presentation will be published (by the
CAiSE organizers) in a joint workshop volume (together with proceedings of
other workshops).
