Abstract

Business Process Management Systems (BPMSs) found broad application in recent years and there have been first suggestions how Complex Event Processing (CEP) can support or complement BPMS functionality. Though some business suites already provide technical integration of BPMSs and CEP engines, many benefits still remain undiscovered.We describe classification of event-driven data processing having a BPMS as data source and we reveal some relevant challenges for CEP. This paper provides contributions on both technical and conceptual level. From a technical point of view, we discuss mission-critical performance issues that depend on the chosen integration approach of BPMSs, CEP engines, and database systems. Scalability of BPM applications can benefit from outsourcing BPM computations to in-DB calculations and in-CEP processing. From a functional/conceptual point of view, we emphasize current CEP techniques and how they realize functional requirements of concrete BPM use cases.
