CALL FOR PAPERS PRAISE’16

Co-located with BPM 2016 conference., the workshop will offer an excellent venue to bring together researchers from both business process management and compliance management research communities. The PRAISE’2016 workshop will be held on 19th September, 2016 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Topics of Interest
The workshop aims to attract the original submissions on the following topics (but not limited to):

- Approaches to runtime analysis and verification of functional and non-functional properties of systems;
- Verification techniques for compliance checking of business process at runtime;
- Mathematical foundations, languages and specifications for supporting runtime consistency checking of PAISs;
- Methods and techniques for checking and monitoring business process consistency properties and constraints at runtime;
- Inconsistency analysis and assisting the PAIS stakeholders in resolving the corresponding problems;
- Enabling techniques for facilitating system adaptation and/or evolution to resolve or compensate runtime inconsistencies;
- Novel architectural designs for dealing with the complexity of PAISs and their surrounding runtime environments
and the sheer amount of runtime data to support large scale consistency checking / monitoring;
- Quantitative analysis techniques/methods for prediction and optimization of temporal performance at runtime;
- Reports on applications, experiments, or case studies in quasi-real or real settings for ensuring consistencies of PAISs at runtime;
- Analytics and visualization techniques for run-time monitoring of PAISs;
