·       Process mining and process reengineering technologies

·       Formal representation, workflow patterns

·       Workflow methodologies

·       Workflow verification and validation

·       Workflows and GRID environments

·       GRID workflows

·       Workflow and human interaction

·       Business and scientific workflow-based applications

·       Solutions for the eSociety (eHealth, eGovernment, eLearning, etc.)

Organization:

The workshop, a one-day event, is a satellite event of the "9th International Symposium on Symbolic and Numeric Algorithms for Scientific Computing SYNASC 2007" that is to be held in Timisoara, Romania, on September 26-29, 2007.

 Submission:

Original papers reporting new results as well as experimental evaluation and comparisons of existing techniques are expected. We are requesting submissions in the form of:

·        full research papers,

·        short papers (work in progress), system descriptions and software demonstrations.

Papers must describe original work, and should not substantially overlap with already published papers or papers that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with refereed proceedings. Submissions for full research papers are limited to 8 pages (IEEE conference style).

Extended abstracts (up to 4 pages) may be submitted for short papers and system presentations. Only full papers will be considered for publication in post-proceedings. Papers must be submitted electronically to wfpm07@info.uvt.ro.

Full papers accepted and presented at this workshop  will be published in the SYNASC'07 post-proceedings (IEEE Computer Society Press).
