Today’s business organizations are characterized by global, dynamic, uncertain and error-prone environments. In order to compete in such contexts, enterprises need to effectively stay adaptable to environmental and internal changes, constantly reconsider and optimize business processes, and rapidly develop new services and products to support evolving business. The adaptability in all aspects of workflow management (such as modeling, validation, and execution) becomes of a paramount importance. The research on workflow management has been around for a couple of decades, and many approaches and tools have been developed and gained certain range of practical applications. However, how to dynamically assess the constantly changing conditions and adapt workflows accordingly still remain as huge challenges in both academic and industry worlds.
As workflow systems currently provide little support for
such challenges, the goal of this special session is to provide researchers with
an opportunity to discuss how workflow systems can better deal with these
issues. We expect to draw together help identify the breadth of current work,
commonalities, gaps, potential collaborations and future research directions.
Relevant topics include but not limit to:
• Dynamic workflow
modeling, verification and assessment
• Infrastructures for
dynamically modifiable process models
• Inter-organizational
dynamic workflows
• Formal methods in dynamic
workflows
• Methodologies for workflow management
• Tool development and integration
• Workflow management
case study
• Dynamic workflow patterns
