WORKSHOP SCOPE

The research on Semantic Web services and processes has so far focused on specification discovery, and automated composition. Today, businesses focus on efficient ways to interact with the partners they already know and work with, and prefer to manually model their processes. However, there is emerging interest in businesses to begin exploring more dynamism in their business processes, to respond quickly to the changing environments and to make their process more adaptive/agile.  This will require formal modeling of different aspects of Web services and processes – especially modeling the non-functional aspects (Quality of service, Business rules, policies, constraints, etc.). This workshop will bring together research from various disciplines as well as industrial practitioners in exploring the role of semantics in creating dynamic Web processes.  The workshop further the discussions started at an earlier workshop on Semantic and Dynamic Web Processes (SDWP).



TOPICS OF INTEREST

We invite industrial and academic researchers to submit original research papers as well as reports on work in progress related to dynamic Web processes. Suggested topics include but are not restricted to:



   Use cases for dynamism in business and scientific processes
   Constraint analysis for Web processes
   Policy/Rules based configuration of Web processes
   Behavior modeling of Web services
   Functional modeling of Web services
   Quality of Service Modeling of Web Services
   Combining business rules with process management
   Optimization of Web processes



SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

The proceedings of the workshop will be published online, followed by a book of chapters based on selected papers in the Springer series. All papers should be submitted electronically in PDF and in Springer/LNCS format.  Papers are not to exceed 12 pages.
