                       COOPERATIVE INFORMATION SYSTEMS

                                (CoopIS 2008)

          Acceptance rate of CoopIS in recent years was approx. 20%

Cooperative Information Systems are the cornerstone for moving the technical
network infrastructure to a meaningful integrated information infrastructure.
The CIS paradigm has traditionally encompassed distributed systems technologies
such as middleware, business process management (BPM) and Web technologies. In
recent years service oriented architectures have fundamentally altered the
technological landscape of CIS systems. Service Oriented Computing (SOC)
introduces the service abstraction (a remotely accessible software component)
as the building block of both inter and intra organizational distributed
applications and its supporting middleware.

Cooperative Information Systems applications are heavily distributed and highly
coordinated, often exhibiting inter-organizational interaction patterns and
requiring distributed access and sharing of computing and information
resources. Typically they fall under the categories of e-Business, e-Commerce,
e-Government, e-Health, e-Science among others.

The CoopIS conference series has established itself as a major international
forum for exchanging ideas and results on scientific research for practitioners
in fields such as computer supported cooperative work (CSCW), middleware,
Internet data management, electronic commerce, human-computer interaction,
workflow management, agent technologies, and software architectures, to name a
few. In addition, the 2008 edition of CoopIs aims to highlight the impact of
service oriented computing and the importance of sustainability of CIS as a
necessary prerequisite for mission critical applications.

As in previous years, CoopIS'08 will be part of a joint event with other
conferences, in the context of the OTM ("On The Move") federated conferences,
covering different aspects of distributed information systems.

Topics that are addressed by CoopIS'08 are logically grouped in three broad
areas, and include but are not limited to:

    * Business Process Management and Compliance
          o Business Process Integration and Management
          o Cooperation Aspects in Business Process Management
          o Distributed Workflow Management and Systems
          o Service orchestration and service compositions
          o Process choreographies
          o Business process compliance
          o Integrated supply chains
          o Concurrent engineering and distributed groupware
          o Business level policies
          o Governance, risk and compliance models and runtimes
          o Sustainability of processes
    * Advanced middleware and architectures and runtimes
          o Service oriented middleware
          o Web services standards and runtimes
          o Grid computing infrastructure
          o Enterprise Grids architectures and services
          o Web centric information and processing architectures
          o Semantic interoperability
          o Self-adapting and self-healing systems
          o Model driven middleware architectures
          o Multi-agent systems and architectures for CIS
          o Peer-to-peer technologies
          o Security and privacy in CIS
          o Quality of service in cooperative information systems
          o Mediation, matchmaking, and brokering architectures
          o Collaboration and negotiation protocols
          o Markets, auctions, exchanges, and coalitions
    * CIS Applications
          o Novel CIS applications for the large organizations: e-business, e-
            commerce, e-government
          o Advances in e-science and Grid computing applications
          o Medical and biological information systems
          o Industrial applications of CIS
          o Web 2.0

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Papers submitted to CoopIS'08 must not have been accepted for publication
elsewhere or be under review for another workshop or conference. All submitted
papers will be carefully evaluated based on originality, significance,
technical soundness, and clarity of expression. All papers will be refereed by
at least three members of the program committee, and at least two will be
experts from industry in the case of practice reports. All submissions must be
in English. Submissions must not exceed 18 pages in the final camera-ready
paper style. Submissions must be laid out according to the final camera-ready
formatting instructions and must be submitted in PDF format.
The paper submission site will be announced later
Failure to comply with the formatting instructions for submitted papers will
lead to the outright rejection of the paper without review.
Failure to commit to presentation at the conference automatically excludes a
paper from the proceedings.
