Monitoring of Business Processes with Complex Event Processing

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing ((LNBIP,volume 171))

Abstract

Business process monitoring enables a fast and specific overview of the process executions in an enterprise. Traditionally, this kind of monitoring requires a coherent event log. Yet, in reality, execution information is often heterogeneous and distributed. In this paper, we present an approach that enables monitoring of business processes with execution data, independently of the structure and source of the event information. We achieve this by implementing an open source event processing platform combining existing techniques from complex event processing and business process management. Event processing includes transformation for abstraction as well as correlation to process instances and BPMN elements. Monitoring rules are automatically created from BPMN models and executed by the platform.
