8th International Conference on Business Process Management

Hoboken, New Jersey
September 14-16, 2010
http://www.bpm2010.org/

**Draft paper submissions (must include title and abstract): 11:59PM PST, 14 March 2010 (firm deadline)
**Final paper submissions: 11:59PM PST, 19 March 2010 (firm deadline)

Business Process Management (BPM) becomes increasingly important as companies want to increase insight, efficiency and effectiveness of their operations. BPM 2010 is the eighth conference in a series that provides the most distinguished forum for researchers and practitioners in all aspects of BPM including theory, frameworks, methods, techniques, architectures, systems, and empirical findings. It will be held from September 14-16, 2010, at the Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, New Jersey, just minutes from downtown Manhattan. The conference has a record of attracting innovative research of highest quality, from a mix of disciplines including Computer Science, Management Information Science, Services Computing, Services Science, and Technology Management. The acceptance rate at the BPM conference has traditionally been around 15%. In addition to showcasing leading research, the conference provides a venue for the discussion of BPM education, the demonstration of in!
novative systems with BPM functionalities, and an exchange among BPM practitioners.

We invite contributions in the following three areas:

- Research Papers
- Education and Curriculum Papers
- Demonstrations and Prototypes

*Call for Research Papers

BPM 2010 continues with the broad-based themes of previous BPM conferences, and strives to strengthen and expand in several key directions. The conference especially encourages emerging research on new conceptual models for BPM understood broadly, models that attempt to unify core aspects of BPM, including process management, data management, business rules and requirements, and analytics, that until recently have been represented using rather disparate conceptual models. The conference also encourages the increasing interest in applying established and new techniques, such as model-driven architectures, Web services and Web architectures, SOA, and Cloud Computing , to the specific challenges of BPM. Finally, the conference seeks to attract papers that highlight the pervasive need for BPM capabilities across application areas outside of business management, including healthcare delivery, digital government, disaster management, and management of scientific and other academic!
endeavors, and that highlight how new techniques can solve the distinctive challenges arising in those diverse areas.

For more information see http://www.bpm2010.org/call-for-papers/call-for-research-papers/

*Call for Education and Curriculum Papers

The new Education and Curriculum track invites papers that examine effective education and training methods for developing the BPM professional. The intent is to share and develop relevant knowledge and to promote fresh ideas for the integration of the broad spectrum of BPM dimensions into training and education courses and/or programs. General questions include the current state of BPM education in universities and/or professional education organizations, what courses and content of those courses are effective at developing BPM professionals, what methods of education/training deployment help BPM professionals understand the holistic nature of end-to-end process-centric organizations, and what types of skills and abilities are needed for BPM deployments and sustainment.

For more information see http://www.bpm2010.org/call-for-papers/call-for-education-papers/

*Call for Demonstrations (Deadline: 17 May 2010)

The Demonstration track showcases innovative Business Process Management (BPM) tools and applications that may originate either from research initiatives or from industry. The Demonstration Track will provide an opportunity to present and discuss emerging technologies with researchers and practitioners in the BPM field. In addition, authors are invited to submit a paper describing their prototype for publication.

PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINE EXTENSION: 15 March, 2010

======================================================================================
The Second Workshop in e-Healthcare Information Security (e-HISec 2010)
http://www.comp.dit.ie/e-hisec2010
======================================================================================

In conjuction with The International Conference on Information Society (I-Society 2010)
June 28-30, 2010,
London, UK
http://www.i-society.eu/
=====================================================================================

This workshop will bring together researchers and industry participants who are involved
either in the design, development, and implementation of novel secure e-Healthcare
Information Systems or in the research that addresses the key questions in the enhancement
of privacy and securing of e-Healthcare information. We expect the works to be presented
in this workshop to address security and privacy problems and solutions that can be used
in distributed and heterogeneous computer systems as well as in mobile devices, which will
characterise the emerging e-Healthcare environment.

In the recent years substantial budgets have been and are being committed towards e-Health-
care. For example, as part of the stimulus package the Obama administration is going to
spend 19 Billion dollars in Healthcare. A significant part of this budget will be spent on
making sure that all Americans have e-Healthcare records by 2014. The move towards e-Health-
care is envisaged to reduce the cost of provision of healthcare, improve quality of care and
reduce medical errors. Despite all these advantages the security concerns are real and going
to increase as the rate we digitise information and use the web. Major security issues include
patient privacy, trust, and quality-assurance. Security concerns are affecting the adoption
rate and usage of these e-Healthcare systems. Unless deliberate efforts are taken to secure
these systems from design to implementation most of the development achieved to date may not
be realised and rolled out to the real world.

The security and privacy issues in e-Healthcare Information Systems that are covered in this
workshop are also becoming important now in digital information management in general. These
issues will also have significant effect in other emerging application areas such as cloud
computing.

We welcome original, high-quality research contributions that advance the state-of-the-art
in the design, development, deployment, evaluation and understanding of secure e-Healthcare
Information Systems.

TOPICS OF INTEREST INCLUDE BUT NOT LIMITED TO:
==============================================

* Security in e-Healthcare Information Systems
* Privacy concerns in e-Healthcare Information Systems.
* Trust concerns in e-Healthcare Information Systems.
* Design principles of secure context-aware e-Healthcare Information Systems.
* How security addresses the legal and ethical issues in emerging e-Healthcare Information
Systems?
* Frameworks for evaluation of e-Healthcare Systems
* Security and privacy standards for e-Healthcare Information Systems
* Tools and techniques for designing, developing, implementing, and evaluating e-Healthcare
Information Systems.
* Challenges in building secure e-Healthcare Information Systems.
* Impact and incorporation of legal aspects in security and privacy of e-Healthcare Information
systems
