Highly Dynamic Adaptation in Process Management Systems Through Execution Monitoring

Nowadays, process management systems can be used notonly in classical business scenarios, but also in highly mobile and dynamicsituations, e.g., in supporting operators during emergency managementin order to coordinate their activities. In such challenging situations,processes should be adapted, in order to cope with anomalous situations,including connection anomalies and task faults. In this paper, we presenta general approach, based on execution monitoring, which is (i) practical,by relying on well-established planning techniques, and (ii) does notrequire the definition of the adaptation strategy in the process itself(as most of the current approaches do). We prove the correctness andcompleteness of the approach.
