Abstract
Importance of governance and associated issues of compliance and risk management are well recognized in enterprise systems. This importance has dramatically increased over the last few years as a result of recent events that led to some of the largest scandals in corporate history. Compliance related software and services is expected to reach a market value of over $ 27billion this year. At the same time, there is an increasing complexity on how to facilitate compliant business processes due to frequent and dynamic changes as well as shared processes and services executing in highly decentralized environments.
Due to the distributed nature of business operations, there is a need to develop tools, methods and techniques to support governance and compliance in web information systems (WIS). This is emerging as a critical and challenging area of research and innovation. It opens new questions e.g. modeling approaches for compliance requirements as well as challenge existing ones e.g. extension of process and service modeling and execution frameworks for compliance and risk management.
