About VBSP 2017

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. This workshop investigates the novelties and advances concerning the application of formal methods in Business/Software (BS) processes design and execution.

Proceedings

Accepted papers will be published in the Computer Research Repository (CoRR) and referenced in DBLP.
