CALL FOR PAPERS
Special issue on Dynamic and Declarative Business Processes
Deadline to submit full papers: extended to March 1st, 2009.
The capability of rapidly adapting systems and processes to an ever-changing environment to leverage existing resources has become a crucial factor of an organization's agility. The traditional approach to process management is only partially appropriate to this new context, and calls for the advent of new, dynamic business processes. Broad business policies or narrower constraints of technical nature make dynamic business process particularly suited to a declarative approach to their modelling and design.
This special issue will be an opportunity to promote research on any aspect broadly touching dynamic and declarative approaches to business process management and serviceoriented architectures. A particular interest will be taken in bridging theoretical research and practical issues. To this end, evaluated contributions addressing the open problems, case studies, applications and evaluations of well-established formalisms in new contexts or any other work assessing the practical significance of dynamic and declarative business processes by means of concrete examples and situations, will be particularly welcome.
