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.
