http://www.bpsc-conf.org

Between May 21st and 23rd, 2012, the 5th International Conference on
Business Process and Services Computing (BPSC 2012) will take place
at the University of Vilnius, Lithuania.
The conference will be held in conjunction with the 15th International
Conference on Business Information Systems (BIS 2012).


MISSION AND MOTIVATION
-----------------------
The aim of BPSC conferences is to be a prime international forum to discuss
and publish research findings and IT industry experiences with relation to
process-centric service-oriented paradigm as it applies to the development
and integration of enterprise and e-business information systems.
By looking at the business process as a first-class citizen in the IT world
and by using the potential of services computing for creation of adaptive
process-centric business solutions, BPSC conferences identify most hopeful
trends and propose new directions for consideration by researchers and
practitioners involved in large-scale systems development and integration.

The BPSC conference accepts original research and industry experience papers.
The authors of papers that could not be accepted as full papers may be invited
to re-submit their work as a position paper. Full papers should not exceed
12 LNCS pages. A position paper presents preliminary research findings and/or
new research challenges and/or a research survey and/or arguable opinions
based on research or pragmatic evidence. Position papers should not exceed
8 LNCS pages and will be classified as short papers, posters, or demo papers.

PUBLICATION & INDEXATION
------------------------
Accepted BPSC papers will be published in the proceedings with an ISBN number
as Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing (LNBIP) series by Springer
Verlag. Following the conference, the authors of selected research papers
may be asked to consider the conference findings and prepare improved and/or
extended versions of their papers for a special issue of a reputable journal.
