A rule-based modeling for the description of flexible and self-healing business processes
Résumé
In this paper we discuss the importance of ensuring that business
processes are label robust and agile at the same time robust and agile. To this
end, we consider reviewing the way business processes are managed. For
instance we consider offering a flexible way to model processes so that changes
in regulations are handled through some self-healing mechanisms. These
changes may raise exceptions at run-time if not properly reflected on these
processes. To this end we propose a new rule based model that adopts the ECA
rules and is built upon formal tools. The business logic of a process can be
summarized with a set of rules that implement an organization’s policies. Each
business rule is formalized using our ECAPE formalism (Event-Condition-
Action-Post condition- post Event). This formalism allows translating a process
into a graph of rules that is analyzed in terms of reliably and flexibility.
