W1, Full Day
8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.
Cross-Organizational Workflow Management and Coordination

Christoph Bussler, The Boeing Company, Paul Grefen, University of Twente, Heiko Ludwig, IBM Zurich Research Laboratory, Ming-Chien Shan, Hewlett Packard Labs

The objective of this workshop is to provide a forum to discuss workflow management and work coordination in situations in which processes span several independent organizations.

WfMS and collaboration tools are now widely used within organizations, but currently available systems are not well suited for cross-organizational collaboration. Various problems have to be addressed before such systems will be able to deal with organizational boundaries like technical interoperability, common terminology on business and contents level, common language for process models, and management of inter-organizational process status.

The purpose of this workshop is to:

  • Get an overview of ongoing projects and upcoming products.
  • Compile requirements for such systems.
  • Learn about successful deployments. -
  • Identify research issues related to cross-enterprise collaboration and workflow execution.
  • Start building a research community.
Submission deadline:

Implementing Tailorability in Groupware

Gunnar Teege, Technical University of Munich, Helge Kahler, University of Bonn, Michael Koch, Xerox Research Centre Europe, Oliver Stiemerling, University of Bonn

The purpose of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners from several different disciplines (organizational, social, psychological, HCI) in addition to computer science, which must all be integrated for a successful implementation of tailorability in groupware.

The goal of the workshop is to compile an overview of the state-of-the-art in all aspects of tailorability implementation for groupware. This ranges from processes and interfaces for collaborative tailoring to system architectures supporting tailoring. We expect both research contributions and experience reports from the domain.

Participation Requirements: Participation in the workshop requires the submission of a position paper which describes work that is in progress, is near completion, or has been completed. Submissions should describe either a research or an experience contribution. The intent of the workshop is to use the results from the experience contributions for an assessment of the research contributions.

Position papers should be 3-6 pages in length, and must be submitted in electronic form, either in HTML, Postscript or PDF.

Complete submission details are available at the workshop web site (see below).
