Scope 

Despite the growing demand for compliant business processes, security and privacy incidents caused by erroneous workflow specifications are still omnipresent. In fact, often business process management and security issues stand out as separate silos, and are seldom addressed together towards the development of trustworthy and security compliant business processes. The second edition of the Workshop on Security in Business Processes (SBP'13) wants to bring together researchers and practitioners interested in management and modelling of secure business processes in process-aware information systems. In particular, SBP'13 encourages innovative methods for workflow security modelling, security audit and control along the entire business process lifecycle: from design time verification to online operational support and post-mortem analysis. Furthermore, it welcomes contributions beyond the strictly technical character, for instance those considering social, economic, legal and standardisation issues.

Topics of interest include:

  • Alignment
  • Authorization
  • Accountability
  • Audit reduction
  • Business provenance
  • Case studies
  • Conformance/compliance checking checking
  • Continuous audit
  • Cost-benefit analysis
  • Data-centric process mining
  • Formal reasoning
  • Fraud detection
  • Economics of audit
  • Experience reports
  • Information flow control
  • Meta-models for analysis
  • Security Modelling
  • Operational decision support
  • Privacy-aware process discovery
  • Requirements elicitation
  • Requirements formalization
  • Risk Measurement
  • Runtime verification and monitoring
  • Security testing
  • Trace clustering
  • Usage control
  • Workflow forensics
  • Workflow simulation
