EDUCAUSE workshop: Workflow Models and Technologies

Workflow is an important new way of thinking about software design and integration.
To some extent, thinking about workflow helps one to design composable services.

EDUCAUSE has a workshop starting tomorrow.

Advanced CAMP: Workflow Models and Technologies
June 28-30, 2006
Wyndham Burlington, Burlington, VT

The Advanced CAMP: Workflow Models and Technologies provides a chance for attendees to explore the requirements, models, and needs for workflow in a highly interactive setting. The sessions will 

• cover the security usage patterns in workflow, including the role of document digital signatures,
• examine emerging technologies, including web services, associated with workflow,
• discuss current and ongoing deployments in higher education and
• explore how middleware such as directory services, Signet, Grouper, and Shibboleth projects can be enhanced by workflow and could be used to facilitate the use of workflow deployments in your organization.

My main interest in this area is WS-BPEL workflows, particularly ones related to scholarly communications or e-Science.
