Abstract
Maintainability is fundamental to keeping business information systems alive and making evolution possible. Steadily increasing functionalities lead to giant networked application landscapes which need to be maintained. A failure in one part can rapidly impair the whole landscape and harm the business. Maintainability is a critical issue and new approaches are required to keep complex landscapes under control. Lack of information together with unknown dependencies is only one problem to be named. Missing control is another one. We present a framework for monitoring and controlling process execution, which allows the prevention of a new process from being started when the applications needed are not available; it also allows the identification of the best recovery point.
