******************************************=0A=0AWORKSHOP DESCRIPTION=0A=0AE=
nterprises face the challenge of rapidly adapting to dynamic business=0Aenv=
ironments. The traditional approach to process management is only=0Apartial=
ly appropriate to this new context, and calls for the advent of=0Anew, dyna=
mic business processes. This new approach attempts to address=0Aspecific is=
sues related to flexibility and adaptation: design of easily=0Aadaptable pr=
ocesses, dynamic handling of unexpected situations,=0Aoptimality of adaptat=
ions. Central to the field of dynamic business=0Aprocesses is the notion of=
requirement, which make dynamic business=0Aprocess particularly suited to =
a declarative approach to their modelling=0Aand design.=0A=0AThe declarativ=
e approach to dynamic business processes raises a number=0Aof challenges: e=
xtracting declarative specifications from domain=0Aexperts, expressing thes=
e declarative specifications in an appropriate=0Alanguage or formalism, as =
well as designing, monitoring, checking=0Acompliance or dynamically adaptin=
g business processes according to a set=0Aof requirements. Dynamic and decl=
arative business processes have proved=0Atheir use in a wide number of doma=
ins, and are expected to impact=0Aexisting and future technology choices, b=
usiness practices and=0Astandardization efforts.=0A=0AThis workshop will be=
an opportunity for participants to exchange=0Aopinions, advance ideas, and=
discuss preliminary results on current=0Atopics related to dynamic and dec=
larative business processes. A=0Aparticular interest will be taken in bridg=
ing theoretical research and=0Apractical issues. To this end, contributions=
stating open problems, case=0Astudies, tool presentations, or any other wo=
rk assessing the practical=0Asignificance of dynamic and declarative busine=
ss processes by means of=0Aconcrete examples and situations, will be partic=
ularly welcome. Work in=0Aprogress, position papers stating broad avenues o=
f research, and work on=0Aformal foundations of dynamic and declarative bus=
iness processes are=0Aalso sought-after.=0A=0ATOPICS=0A=0ATopics of the wor=
