现代软件系统越来越多地部署在移动和持续变化的环境中。先验地考虑所有可能的上下文配置/变化是不容易的，或者在开发时列出和编程所有这些可变性点是相当麻烦和容易出错的。因此，不同的研究趋势试图开发机制来表达，分析和支持软件系统运行时的动态适应。今天的业务流程显示出类似的特征。为了保持产品和服务的竞争力和质量，组织需要能够适应不断变化的环境。变更必须反映在支持相应组织活动的软件系统中。在本文中，我们报告的结果，系统的文献综述业务流程适应。审查过程中，我们考虑了84篇论文，从主要的数字图书馆索引计算机科学会议和期刊。通过对这些论文的阅读和系统分析，我们得出了一些研究趋势和挑战，这些趋势和挑战被认为是相关的，能够涵盖有效业务流程定义中的主要适应来源。
Modern software systems are more and more deployed within moving and continuously changing contexts. It is not easy to consider all the possible contexts configurations/variances at priori, or it is quite cumbersome and error prone to list and program all this variability points at development time. For such a reason different research trends try to develop mechanisms to express, analyse and support the dynamic adaptation of a software system while it is running. Business Processes show today similar characteristics. In order to keep their competitiveness and quality for products and services, organizations need to be able to adapt to changing contexts. Changes have to be reflected in the software systems supporting the corresponding organizational activities. In this paper we report the results of a systematic literature review on Business Process Adaptation. The reviewing process lead us to consider 84 papers from the main digital libraries indexing computer science conferences and journals. From the reading and the systematic analysis of these papers we derived some research trends and challenges which have been considered relevant to be able to cover the main sources of adaptation in the definition of effective Business Processes.
