Creating Context-Adaptive Business Processes

Abstract. As the dynamicity of today's business environments keeps increasing, there is a need to continuously adapt business processes in order to respond to the changes in those environments and keep a competitive level. By using complex event processing, we can discover information that is relevant to our organization, which is usually hidden among the data generated in the environment, and use it to adapt the processes accordingly in order to respond to the changing conditions in an optimal way. Unfortunately, the static nature of business process denitions makes it impossible to adapt them at runtime and the redeployment of a modied process is required. By using a component-based approach, we can transform the existing business processes into dynamically bound components, adding the exibility needed to adapt the processes at runtime. In this paper we present CEVICHE, a framework that combines the strengths of complex event processing and dynamic business process adaptation...
