The Cooperative Information System (CIS)
paradigm has been growing and gaining substantial importance in technological
infrastructure (e.g., middleware and Web technologies) and application
areas (e.g., Business Process Management, e-Commerce, e-Government, virtual enterprises). CoopIS
is the leading conference for researchers and practitioners in CIS.
CoopIS brings together researchers from a variety of disciplines such as
collaborative work, Internet data management, electronic commerce, human-computer
interaction, workflow management, web services, agent technologies, and software architectures. We encourage
papers that emphasize cooperation across multiple disciplines.
CoopIS 2004 is a joint event with two other
conferences organized within the global theme "On
the Move to meaningful Internet Systems 2004: Distributed
Object and Applications (DOA) and Ontologies, Databases and Applications
of Semantics (ODBASE)". All three events will be hosted in Cyprus during
the week October 25-29 2004. More details about the federated event
can be found at http://www.cs.rmit.edu.au/fedconf.
The CoopIS 2004 has the theme "Towards
process-aware cooperative information systems." The WWW and related technologies
have created an interconnected world where it is easy to exchange information.
However, to create systems that enable true cooperation the focus on information
exchange is too limited. To reach common goals parties need to agree on a
process. Process-awareness plays an important role at any level ranging from
users and applications to intra- and interorganizational entities. Of course, submissions on all topics related to cooperative information systems are encouraged, including (but not limited to) the following:
Business Process Management
Workflow management
Business intelligence
Configurable information systems
Web services, choreography
Business process execution languages
Software and information services for CIS
Web information systems and services
Middleware technologies, mediators, and wrappers
