Special Issue: Collaborative Business Process Technologies

Editors
Prof. Maria E Orlowska, Dr Shazia Sadiq 
The University of Queensland
Australia

Tremendous developments in data storing, processing and communication over the last two decades have
made unprecedented impact on how most enterprises operate, develop future business strategies and deal
with day to day business process operations. Commonly available computer networking and expansion of
the access to the Internet have changed the way we reason about system architectures, with integration
becoming an obvious and preferred option.  

Workflow Management Systems delivered effectively in the area of process enforcement, offering a clear
separation of business process logic from component applications involved in process execution,
thereby responding to the well-established need for application integration. The complementary role
of workflow systems in supporting advanced database functions, offered a powerful environment for
information systems architects.  It is an observed phenomenon that a new IT solution often triggers
additional, and even more advanced user requirements, which probably would not be discovered if the
current systems functionality would not be so widely available.  This pattern can be clearly observed in
the context of workflow technology evolution. 

It is time now for an even more advanced and rich level of integration facilities. It should be possible to
form new business processes out of pre-existing fully operational workflows at different sites for
various business partners with process owner controlled levels of data disclosure, and most
importantly, practically no impact on the component applications.

CFP: International Workshop on M-Services

CALL FOR PAPERS
2nd International Workshop on M-Services
/Concepts, Approaches, Tools/
To be held in conjunction with
The 14th International Symposium on Methodologies for Intelligent Systems
Maebashi TERRSA, Maebashi City, Japan
October 28-31, 2003
http://www.wi-lab.com/ismis03/

Description
The Internet is going through several major changes. It has become a vehicle of 
services rather than just a repository of information. Many organizations are 
struggling to put their core business competencies on the Internet as a collection 
of Web services. Customers could retrieve these services from the web and fuse them 
into combinations of new Web services in ways that could never be foreseen. The 
advent of wireless technologies, such as palmtops and advanced mobile telephones, 
has opened the possibility to provide facilities on the spot, no matter where 
customers are located (anytime and anywhere). Companies that are eager to get 
engaged on the market of wireless Web services are even facing complicated technical, 
legal, and organizational challenges. Despite the great interest in this area, a 
few number of scientific activities focus on the use, design, and development of 
wireless Web services also denoted by mobile services (M-services).

The purpose of this workshop is to understand the role of M-services in the wireless world. 
M-services can be viewed as a normal extension to Web services. Suggestions of suitable 
architectures, paradigms, technologies, etc. for M-services are going to be discussed 
in this workshop.
Topics of interests include, but are not limited to:
- Composition of M-services vs. Web services.
- Description, organization, and discovery of M-services.

REMINDER: 2nd IEEE International Security in Storage Workshop


      [Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message]

                           CALL FOR PAPERS                

          2ND IEEE INTERNATIONAL SECURITY IN STORAGE WORKSHOP
                Washington, DC, USA - October 31, 2003 
                            Sponsored by the
       IEEE Computer Society Task Force on Information Assurance   

                http://www.stortek.com/hughes/sisw2003

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The ability to create large shared storage systems in a secure manner
is an area that has received little formal research or results. A
comprehensive, systems approach to storage security is required if
storage consolidation is to succeed. This workshop serves as an open
forum to discuss storage threats, technologies, methodologies and
deployment. The workshop seeks submissions from academia and industry
presenting novel research on all theoretical and practical aspects of
designing, building and managing secure storage systems; possible
topics include, but are not limited to the following:

- Cryptographic Algorithms for Storage  
- Key Management for Storage
- Key Management for File Systems
- Attacks on Storage Area Networks and Storage    
- Security for Mobile Storage
- Defining and Defending Trust Boundaries in Storage

CFP IDPT 2003 Special Topic Session

------------------------------------------------------------------------

CALL FOR PAPERS

  SEVENTH WORLD CONFERENCE ON INTEGRATED DESIGN & PROCESS TECHNOLOGY
  Austin, Texas, Dec 3-5, 2003 (http://www.sdpsnet.org/)

SPECIAL TOPIC SESSIONS:

  Application Design and Techniques for Embedded Systems in Ubiquitous
  Computing

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Session Details

Everyday objects are more and more equipped with computational power
that allows them to be smart devices with the ability to communicate
with their environment. This intelligence enables them also to reflect
their own state and to dynamically react on external stimuli. Ubiquitous
Computing is the name for this new paradigm where computers are no
longer used to model the real world, but the computational power is
brought to the objects of the physical world. In Ubiquitous Computing,
computers - as we know them today - vanish into the background, and
small computing devices take over everyday tasks. Technically, these
devices represent embedded systems communicating with each others using
