Theseproceedingscontainthe?nalversionsofpapersacceptedfortheworkshops that were held in conjunction with the Fifth International Conference on Bu- ness Process Management (BPM 2007) that took place in Brisbane, Australia. Twenty workshop proposals were submitted for this conference of which seven were selected. Ultimately this resulted in six workshops that ran concurrently on September 24 2007. This was the third year running for BPM workshops, a testament to the continued success of the workshop program. The BPM community's ongoing strong interest in process modelling, design, measurement and analysis were well re?ected in the "Business Process Intel- gence" and "Business Process Design" workshops. This year's workshops also included two new emerging areas that have gained increased attention: "C- laborative Business Processes"-a topic which explores the challenges in se- less integration of and collaboration between business processes from di?erent organizations, and "Process-Oriented Information Systems in Healthcare"-a topic which recognizes the importance of patient-centered process support in healthcare and looks into the potential bene?ts and limitations of IT support for healthcareprocesses. The"ReferenceModeling" workshopcoveredlanguages for reference modelling, evaluation and adaptation of reference models, and - plicationsofsuchmodels. Finally, the "AdvancesinSemantics forWebServices" workshop considered some of the latest research e?orts in the ?eld of Semantic Web services including relevant tools and techniques and real-worldapplications of such services. We would like to thank the workshop organizers for their tremendous e?orts in the preparation for the workshops, the organization of the reviews, the - site moderation of the workshops, and the publication process.
