Abstract
Enterprise information systems allow more automation of tasks and complex interconnections, particularly with the emergence of new paradigms like Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). These new environments make checking correctness of systems at design-time as well as at run-time particularly challenging. In this paper, we propose a new monitoring framework that makes use of business protocols as a simple abstraction of business processes. We provide a monitoring language called BPath, which is an XPath-based language for both expressing and checking temporal and hybrid logical properties at run-time, making the execution of a business process visible by expressing and evaluating statistical queries over execution traces.
This work is a part of the research project “COMPAS: Compliance-driven Models, Languages and Architectures for Services”, which is funded by the European commission, funding reference FP7-215175.
