I am particularly interested in 3 main strands: (1) Dynamic Workflow Adaptation: How can business processes be modelled and automated in way that allows for flexible run-time adaption to environmental changes? (2) Policy Conflict/ Feature Interaction: How can we deal with conflicting policies -- that is how can we detect that policies require conflicting actions and how can this be resolved at runtime? (3) Service Selection: How can we select the most appropriate services for a user in a given context?
