=================================================================

Cloud-enabled Business Process Management (CeBPM) is an emerging research area aiming 
to address the gap between the automatisation and optimization of business operations on one side 
and the offering of software service utilities needed to support such business operations on the other. 
Expected benefits of this endeavour are higher availability of business processes on demand, 
the scalable and elastic provision of needed resources and infrastructures, flexible implementation 
of new business processes relying on CeBPM platforms, lower startup costs for new enterprises 
and the possibility to chose and optimise the service utility based on non-functional requirements 
(e.g. reliability, security and so on). Therefore BPM in the Cloud is emerging as a set of new 
technologies that would facilitate the increasingly resource demanding daily business operations 
of enterprises. Along this line, there are new conceptual and technological barriers that must be 
solved in order to reach a certain level of maturity, including mechanisms for the authoring of 
new business operations from the business environment, which support innovation, 
interoperability solutions, techniques to deploy software utilities on the Cloud, 
the management of business processes extending over multiple Clouds.

In this context, CeBPM intends to be a forum for researchers and practitioners involved in 
Cloud-enabled business processes, allowing them to identify the latest progress in the field
