CV
Petia Wohed was born in Bulgaria and moved to Sweden in 1987. She started her studies in Computer Science at the Department of Computer and Systems Sciences (DSV) at Stockholm University in 1990 and completed her BSc in 1993. During the last year of her undergraduate studies Wohed was involved in the European ESPRIT project NATURE (Novel Approaches to Theories Underlying Requirements Engineering) where she also completed her diploma work in the area of reverse engineering. After her graduation Wohed continued working as a research assistant at DSV involved in the national project CICIS (Coordination of Information in Cooperating Information Systems), where she worked in the area of schema integration. She received a PhD student position in 1996 and under the supervision of Prof. Paul Johannesson, she completed her PhD on "Schema Quality, Schema Enrichment, and Reuse in Information Systems Analysis" in June 2000. During her graduation studies Wohed was mainly working in the area of communicative and deontic aspects of information systems as well as reuse within information systems analysis. After her graduation Wohed continued her research in the area of analysis patterns for information systems development. This research was initially financed by a two-years long postdoctoral scholarship and is currently financed by a four-years long research grant for young researchers awarded by the Swedish Research Council. During the years 2001 and 2002 Wohed visited The Queensland University of Technology (QUT) in Australia twice, where she totally spent nine months. At QUT, in the research group of Prof. Arthur ter Hofstede, Wohed was working on evaluation of web-services composition languages based on a set of workflow patterns, which were earlier developed by Prof. ter Hostede (QUT) and Prof. van der Aalst (TUE).

Back in Sweden, Wohed was involved in the work of INTEROP Network of Excellence on interoperability of information systems. During the period September 2004 - August 2005 Wohed was holding a postdoctoral position at University Henri Poincare. This position was financed by the French Research Council (CNRS) and the work was aligned with the goals within INTEROP NoE. Wohed was during this period working on language analysis through a framework inspired by Bunge Wand and Weber's framework and defined within the network. During this period Wohed visited Prof. van der Aalst at Technical University of Eindhoven (TUE). During this visit she cooperated with Prof. van der Aalst and Prof. ter Hofstede's research groups on evaluating the new release of UML Activity Diagrams with the workflow patterns. After her post doctoral visit in France, Wohed visited QUT for a third time for a period of six months (September 2005 – February 2006). She continued the collaboration with the workflow patterns team by a pattern evaluation of BPMN. During her visit at QUT, Wohed also collaborated with Prof. Rosemann and his research group on comparison of different process modeling evaluation frameworks. More precisely the workflow patterns framework was compared with the Bunge Wand and Weber framework.
