Preface
(DPM 2006)
The agility of an enterprise more and more depends on its ability to dynami-
cally set up new business processes or to modify existing ones, and to quickly
adapt its information systems to these process changes. Companies are therefore
developing a growing interest in concepts, technologies and systems that help
them to flexibly align their business as well as engineering processes to changing
needs and to optimize their interactions with customers and business partners.
In this context dynamic process support has become an extensive research
topic in areas like business process management, Web Service technology and
engineering workflows with several specialized aspects. Besides business require-
ments there are many technical challenges like the correct and efficient sup-
port of dynamic workflows (e.g., evolution of workflow specifications and dy-
namic change propagation, data-driven workflows), the support of autonomic
or self-organizing processes, the dynamic selection of the best service provider,
the dynamic evolution of local processes as well as its involvement in inter-
organizational collaborations, or the handling of security and trust issues in
dynamic processes. While there has been major progress in some of these areas,
dynamic process support is still a vision when looking at more complex scenarios.
The aim of the DPM’06 workshop, which took place in Vienna on September
4th, 2006, was to provide a forum wherein challenges and paradigms for dy-
namic process management could be debated. The workshop brought together
researchers and practitioners from different communities and application do-
mains who share an interest in dynamic process support. We had received 10
contributions from which 5 had been accepted for the workshop proceedings.
Papers were evaluated on the basis of significance, relevance, technical quality
and exposition. We hope you will find the papers of this workshop interesting
and stimulating.
We would like to acknowledge the support of the workshop program commit-
tee. We also thank Johann Eder as workshops chair and Schahram Dustdar as
general chair of the BPM 2006 conference.
