For examples of standard business processes see the RosettaNet standard. They have a collection of processes that have been mapped and ready to be delpoyed (?). You can see them at this site. Select the Standards link to get to the page. The BPMI.org site discusses the process language. You will notice that a few software companies have implemented the language specifications to create process engines and the like. 10:19:36 PM

HIPAA a hardship for health care companies. Low IT spending may intensify compliance issues [InfoWorld: Top News] Privacy issues are at the core of HIPAA. Questions of interest to a researcher here are (a) what are the compliance mechanisms for privacy before and after HIPAA, (b) what are the typical privacy concerns and how do they differ from general privacy issues, (c) who are the agencies (or units) affected by the HIPAA rules, (d) what training and education programs are in place, (e) what unintended consequences have risen, etc. Perhaps there are a lot more issues in this area. It is best to research the area of privacy, trust, and security and bring to bear on HIPAA issues. I believe the area is a great pool of creative component topics. 9:50:23 PM
