Welcome

Business processes are central to the operation of public and private enterprises. Today, the advancement in Service Oriented Computing, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Data Science has the potential to transform business processes in fundamental ways; by assisting knowledge workers in communicating analysis findings, supporting pieces of evidence and to make decisions.

The 4^th International Workshop on AI-enabled Process Automation (AI-PA) will be held as one of the workshops of the 21^st International Conference on Service Oriented Computing (ICSOC 2023). The AI-PA workshop aims at providing a forum for researchers and professionals interested in Artificial Intelligence (AI) enabled Business Processes and Services; and in understanding, envisioning and discussing the opportunities and challenges of intelligent Process Automation, Process Data Analytics and providing Cognitive Assistants for knowledge workers.
