Abstract
To address the issue of business process adaptation, we focus on handling adaptation needs as cross-cutting concerns because they rely or must affect many parts of a business process. Our research objective is to enhance aspect-oriented business process management with event-driven capabilities for discovering situations requiring adaptations. To this end, we develop an aspect-oriented extension to BPMN2.0 and we couple it with an event-driven approach for detecting and reasoning about situations that require adaptation of business processes. We use event processing in order to monitor the process execution environment and, when execution violates some quality “threshold” or a problem arises, to detect it and trigger lookup for a suitable process adaptation, using a reasoning mechanism. We demonstrate that our approach is able to address simultaneously adaptation on process model and execution level.
