Using Complex Event Processing for Dynamic Business Process Adaptation

Abstract

Abstract-As the amount of data generated by today's pervasive environments increases exponentially, there is a stronger need to decipher the important information that is hidden among it. By using complex event processing, we can obtain the information that really matters to our organization and use it to improve our processes. However, even when this information is retrieved, business processes remain static and cannot be changed dynamically to adapt to the actual scenario, diminishing the advantages that can be achieved. In this paper we present CEVICHE, a framework that combines the strengths of complex event processing and dynamic business process adaptation, which allows to respond to the needs of today's rapidly changing environments. We use a simple car rental scenario to show how CEVICHE could be used to maintain the quality of service of a business process by adapting it according to the situation.

Business Process Adaptability Metrics for QoS-Based Service Compositions

“…In software engineering, many approaches have been proposed to support the adaptability and evolution of business processes (such as [12], [7], to name a few). In these approaches process adaptability is conceived dierently from the vision we take in this paper.…”

Multi-level Fusion To Improve Threat Pattern Recognition In Cyber Defense

“…As it is shown in Figure 1, four above pivots consist of five main phases in data acquisition (recording, filtering a wide range of data gathered from resources such as sensors or other readers) management (management of large volume of distributed data and events which should be scalable, secure and reliable), access (access to data anytime, from anywhere), analysis (real-time data and event analysis) and response (automatic response to events) [26].…”

“… To gather the events occurred in large scale in form of a threat event cloud in order to identify the profiles of internal and external multi vector threats which are the most common threats in vital networks [26].…”

History-Aware, Real-Time Risk Detection in Business Processes

“…In this context, CEP systems have been integrated into commercial BPMSs, e.g. webMethods Business Events 6 , ARIS Process Event Monitor [6] and SAP Sybase [27], as well as explored in academia [9,11]. A CEP system allows the analysis of aggregated events from different sources (e.g.…”

“…process variables) vs simple events; iii) time-driven and event-driven triggers vs event-driven trigger only. Moreover, CEP systems typically suffer from performance overheads [11,31] which limit their applicability to real-time risk detection [31].…”
