------------------------------------------------------------------
International Workshop on Dynamic Web Processes (DWP, 2005),
Amsterdam, The Netherlands, December 12, 2005

Held in conjunction with Third International Conference on Service
Oriented Computing (ICSOC 2005)

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.
