ABSTRACT 

Processes, whatever the field (e.g. software, military or healthcare), are everywhere. They represent the 
building block of any information system nowadays. Business processes are used to represent the enterprise’s 
business and services it delivers. They are also used as a mean to enforce customer’s satisfaction and to 
create an added value to the company. Software processes are critical as well since they represent the guaranty 
to respect development process’s deadlines and to ensure a certain quality of the delivered software, which in some 
cases will end up being the company’s information system itself. It is then more than critical to seriously consider 
the design of such processes and to make sure that they are free of any kind of inconsistencies. One possible way 
to unsure that the developed processes are safe is to apply formal verification. Hence, we propose this workshop 
t o investigate the novelties and advances concerning the application of formal methods in Business/Software (BS) 
processes design and execution.

TOPICS 
•  Formal specification of BS processes modeling languages.
•  Formal approaches in the development of BS processes.
•  Ability of formal methods to handle real-world problems
•  Formal Tools and technologies for BS process verification
•  Impact of formal methods on BS process based applications
•  Integration of Formal methods in the BS process&nbs p;life cycle
•  Case studies
•  Experimental validation
