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.
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.
*Relevant topics are *
- Business process model quality metrics
- Business process maintainability
- Business process evolution
- Business process modeling styles
- Business process modeling patterns and anti-patterns
- Business process comprehension
- Relation between business process models and software / system models
- Software model maintainability
- Software model evolution and tracking
- Software model and implementation alignment
- Software model comprehension
- Roles and expertise different modeling activities
- Empirical studies on understandability of business processes and 
software models
- Empirical studies on quality of business process and software models
- Industrial cases on communication and understandability of process and 
software models

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.

*Format of the Workshop and Proceedings *
The workshop will 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.
All accepted papers will be published as *IEEE Workshop Proceedings*. 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.

*Paper Submission *
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 
https://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html. 
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).
Papers should be submitted via EasyChair:
