<div style="margin: 0px; font-family: Calibri; ">In recent years,
the fact that models are a means for communication gained more
attention in research on process modeling and software modeling.
Both communities discuss issues related to models, modeling
languages, and their use and perception, such as model
understandability, complexity of modeling languages, actual usage
of language features, cognitive aspects, human perception and
subjective perspectives on models, and related issues. </div>
<div style="margin: 0px; font-family: Calibri; ">These topics are
extremely important for the adaption of modeling languages in
practice, yet the attention from the research community is still
limited. The CPSM 2013 workshop shall provide a forum for
researchers and practitioners actively working on quality,
usability and maintainability of software and process models. The
workshop supports the exchange of ideas, challenges, and insights
from two similar domains with the aim of raising awareness of the
important “soft skills” of modeling languages. The workshop will
give room to present research results, position papers, case
studies and share experiences and ideas in panel discussions. </div>

<div style="margin: 0px; font-family: Calibri; ">We invite full
papers that describe consolidated research results or case
studies, as well as short papers outlining researches still in
progress or position papers. Submissions will be assessed based on
their novelty, relevance, empirical evidence, scientific quality,
readability, comparison with existing and related works, and the
extent to which the paper allows to build bridges between the
different domains of process modeling and software engineering. We
specifically want to encourage early results. </div>

comprise presentations of accepted papers and keynotes from
experienced researchers and practitioners. Moreover, we will
organize moderated discussions on hot topics that were raised in
the different communities and emerged from the workshop
submissions. </div>
<div style="margin: 0px; font-family: Calibri; ">All accepted papers
will be published as <b>IEEE Workshop Proceedings</b>. As this
volume will appear after the conference, there will be informal
proceedings during the workshop. At least one author for each
accepted paper must register for the workshop and present the
paper. </div>

Submission </b></div>
<div style="margin: 0px; font-family: Calibri; ">Prospective authors
are invited to submit papers for presentation in any of the areas
listed above. Only papers in English will be accepted. Different
paper types are distinguished. Length of full papers (completed
research or case study) must not exceed 10 pages. Short papers
(work in progress or positions paper) should be no longer than 4
pages. Papers should be submitted in the IEEE style in PDF format,
templates are available at <a
href="https://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html">https://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html</a>.
Papers have to present original research contributions not
concurrently submitted elsewhere. The title page must contain a
short abstract, a classification of the topics covered, preferably
using the list of topics above, and an indication of the
submission category (full paper | case study | work in progress |
position paper). </div>
