purpose of this workshop is to provide a forum to discuss new research
directions in the area of business process management and business service
automation. A critical goal of the workshop is to cultivate high quality
research concerning Internet-enabled business processes and services, which include
new technological advances such as cloud computing, mobile commerce, service
virtualization, and big data analysis. <br></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black;background:white"><br></span></p>

workshop aims to extend the boundaries of research in business process
management by integrating new elements that have not been sufficiently
emphasized in the past.<span style>  </span>The recent rapid
advances in information systems have created both challenges and opportunities
to develop new business services via innovative business processes.<span style>  </span>For instance, we know how to automate routine,
formal business processes but have not really attempted computerizing ad hoc
processes that may emerge spontaneously and have short life span. These may
include examples like setting up ad hoc meetings that may involve a number of
people from different places, different IT devices and platforms, an evolving
agenda, a set of documents as inputs and outputs and some decisions and
outcomes. Such meetings are often very valuable but also time consuming to
organize and manage.<span style>  <br></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black;background:white"><span style><br>
