First Call for Papers

2nd International Workshop on

Conceptual Modelling of Services (CMS 2011)

co-located with the 1st International Conference on Data and Knowledge Engineering (ICDKE 2011)

Milan, Italy, 6 - 8 September 2011

The CMS workshop aims to bring together researchers in the areas of services computing, services science, business process modelling, and conceptual modelling. The emphasis of this workshop is on the intersection of the rather new, fast growing services computing and services science paradigms with the well established conceptual modelling area.

Typical topics of research papers can be (but are not limited to) the following:

Conceptual models for integrated design and delivery of value bundles (i.e. services and physical goods);
Formal methods for services computing / services science;
Foundation of business process modelling, integration and management;
Modelling languages / techniques for services;
Modelling of semantic services;
Modelling support for service integration -- within a single domain; across multiple domains; with
legacy applications; etc.
Personalisation of services;
Quality of service modelling;
Reference models for service-oriented systems;
Semantics of service-oriented systems;
Service composition planning and verification;
Service computing process modelling, transformation and integration;
Service development process modelling;
Service ontologies and ontology alignment;
User interfaces for assisted service modelling; and
Work-flow modelling.

Submission details will be published on the workshop website

http://ecs.victoria.ac.nz/Events/CMS2011/

Papers must in English, formatted in LNCS style and submitted as pdf-files. Submitted papers must be original and not submitted or accepted for publication in any other workshop, conference, or journal.

The workshop proceedings will be published after the ICDKE conference in a special issue of the Journal of Universal Computer Science (www.jucs.org). Authors will have the opportuninity to polish papers after the workshop. Papers in the final proceedings are strictly limited to 20 pages in the JUCS style. Therefore, submitted papers should not exceed 15 pages.
