Introduction

The I-KNOW 2006 Special Track on Business Process Oriented Knowledge
Infrastructures is the third in a series. The event aims to critically
discuss new theories, concepts, ideas, instruments and systems that address
support for knowledge intensive business processes in organizations.

Background

Knowledge work in organisations becomes increasingly complex, interdependent
and dynamic today. This development co-occurs with the emergence of
sophisticated and advanced information and knowledge technologies that
promise to make organizations more efficient. However, the application of
these novel technologies for the effective support of knowledge workers in
organizations is far from being well understood and a current research
topic. The special track on Business Process Oriented Knowledge
Infrastructures BPOKI'06 aims to address these challenges by increasing
understanding about knowledge work, knowledge intensive business processes
and technological and organizational instruments and systems for supporting
them.
Topics include but are not limited to:

* Identification and modeling of knowledge work and knowledge intensive
business processes
* Identification and modeling of knowledge workers' context
* Design and development of knowledge intensive business processes and
knowledge infrastructures
* Fundamental technological instruments for business process oriented
knowledge infrastructures
* Categories, performance indexes and concepts for knowledge intensive
business processes
* Support for and improvement of knowledge intensive business processes
* Process- and knowledge reuse in business process oriented knowledge
infrastructures
* Quality and quality attributes (including e.g. flexibility, agility,
usability) in knowledge intensive business processes and knowledge
infrastructures
* Agent-oriented and domain-specific approaches to support for knowledge
intensive business processes
* Theory forming and development for the domain of business process oriented
knowledge infrastructures

Based on these topics, submissions may focus on, but are not limited to:
Semantic Process and Knowledge Modeling, Workflow Management Systems, Case
Based Systems, Process-Oriented Information Retrieval, User Context
Identification, Process Simulation, -Mining and -Optimization, Pattern
Identification and Analysis, Agile- and Agent Oriented Systems, Decision
Support Systems and Knowledge Portals.

Type of Submissions

BPOKI'06 seeks contributions that introduce novel ideas and theories,
conceptual frameworks, taxonomies and ontologies, technical applications and
solutions, experiences as well critical arguments and discussions concerning
the topics of this special track.

Target Group

The topics mentioned above equally address researchers and practitioners.
BPOKI'06 aims to present and critically discuss latest work to increase
understanding and gain new insights about the problem domain. The event will
be held in English.
