                Business Process Intelligence 2006 (BPI'06)
                            http://is.tm.tue.nl/bpi06 
                                September 4, 2006
                               in conjunction with
        International Conference on Business Process Management (BPM'06)
                                Vienna, Austria

Business Process Intelligence (BPI) is an emerging area that has been
taking increasing importance during the last years as a consequence of
the pressure to improve the business processes underlying a company's
business operations to better meet its business goals. BPI is the
application of techniques from the different facets of business
intelligence (BI) to business processes.
A number of groups in different research areas are working on
technologies to support different aspects of BPI, although they do not
often share the same terminology. Many other names exist for such
technologies, and there is a lack of clarity in the meaning of terms
like BAM (Business Activity Monitoring), BOM (Business Operations
Management), BPM (Business Performance Management), among others. The
reality is that there is much overlap among techniques and tools
supporting all these technologies. 
Following up the success of the first edition of BPI (BPI'05), this
second edition intends to bridge across the various research areas that
are related to BPI. At the same time the workshop is an opportunity to
continue consolidating this area and building a multidisciplinary
community.

We encourage the submission of research, application and position papers
related to any of the many different topics that are related to BPI.

-       Prediction
-       Exception handling
-       Static optimization
-       Dynamic optimization
-       Adaptiveness
-       Self-management

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Papers should follow the LNCS format (see
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html for details).The first
page must contain a short abstract, the topic covered, preferably taken
from the list of areas above, and an indication of the submission
category (regular paper/position paper/industry paper). Maximum length
of a paper is 8 pages. Papers should be submitted to the review web site
http://ga2551.tm.tue.nl/BPI06 as a PDF file. All papers will be reviewed
by three PC members.

PROCEEDINGS
The proceeding will be published in the Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in
Computer Science (LNCS) series.
