Event in series SBPM

In the past year, Semantic Web technology has gained a substantial interest from both the Business Process Management (BPM) and the Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) domain. This trend has been further fueled by the growing maturity of ontology languages, tools, and infrastructure, and by the engagement of major software vendors in semantic technology. Many researchers and practitioners are now working on how Business Process Management, in particular in service-oriented environments, may benefit from Semantic Web Services frameworks and other results from Semantic Web research. In general, there is substantiated hope that applying ontologies to core problems of BPM and PLM may bring a breakthrough in terms of agility in changing markets and the management of compliance with customer needs and regulatory requirements.

In this workshop, we want to bring together experts from various communities, namely the Business Process Management community on one hand and the Semantic Web / Semantic Web Services community on the other. In particular, we aim at bundling experiences and prototypes from the successful application of Semantic Web technology to BPM and PLM in various industries, like automotive, engineering, chemical and pharmaceutical products, and services domains. The particular focus is on deriving reusable best-practices from such experiences, and to yield convincing showcases of semantic technology.

The workshop covers two themes: Theme 1: Semantic Business Process Management

For this theme, we invite contributions that address the more intelligent engineering, management, and execution of business processes through the use of Semantic Web technology. In particular, we expect and encourage contributions from the areas of business process engineering, management, and optimization, workflow, semantic web services, business rules, as well as respective standardization efforts. Theme 2: Semantic Web Meets Product and Process Lifecycle Management

For this theme, we invite contributions that show how the management of products-related data in single enterprises and value-chains can be improved by the more sophisticated formalisms, tools, and methodologies from the Semantic Web community. The aim is to make Semantic Web technology widely considered in the Product Lifecycle Management community, and to exploit lessons learned in the PLM community for advancement of Semantic Web research.

[edit] Submission

We invite contributions on all theoretical and practical aspects of Semantic Business Process Management and Semantic Product Lifecycle Management, in particular such addressing the real-world business and technology questions to be dealt with in realistic, useful applications for e-Business and e-Government.

Two categories of submissions are solicited: 1. Full papers (up to 12 pages) 2. Position statements (1-2 pages)

All papers will be peer-reviewed by at least two members of the program committee.
