Abstract
Business Process Management approaches incorporate an analysis phase as an essential activity to improve business processes. Although business processes are defined at a high-level of abstraction, the actual analysis concerns are specified at the workflow implementation level resulting in a technology-dependent solution, increasing the complexity to evolve them. In this paper we present a language for high-level monitoring, measurement data collection, and control of business processes and an approach to translate these specifications into executable implementations. The approach we present offers process analysts the opportunity to evolve analysis concerns independently of the process implementation.
