*Integrating Process-oriented and Event-based Systems*
####################################################################
Process-oriented information systems (POIS) control operations by coordinating the execution of elementary activities. Recently, there has been a significant uptake of POIS in transportation, logistics, and medical infrastructures – domains that impose new challenges in terms of system reactivity and adaptability. Here, trends such as sensing of data and advancing system integration represent opportunities to strengthen the event- perspective in process-oriented systems in order to achieve more flexible and comprehensive process control. Event-based systems (EBS), in turn, have been put forward to integrate heterogeneous systems in a flexible and scalable manner by separating communication from application logic. EBS have found their way into many applications where event generation is relatively deterministic and follows structured behaviour, i.e., events are created by processes. Exploiting the process-perspective promises to lead to advancements in the design, analysis, and optimisation of event-based systems.
The increasing overlap of application scenarios that involve concepts and techniques of process-oriented as well as event-based systems, however, is only marginally supported by exchange and convergence of the related research fields. Despite the manifold opportunities for cross-fertilisation as highlighted by a recent Dagstuhl Seminar (http://www.dagstuhl.de/16341/), only a small amount of research has been conducted on how process-oriented systems and event- based systems can be integrated. Given this background, this special issue invites submissions focusing on various aspects of the interplay of process-oriented and event-based systems. We welcome both theoretical contributions as well as papers describing interesting applications. Topics include, but are not limited to:
- Process-driven distribution of event processing - Process-driven handling of event data quality issues - Process-driven definition of complex events - Process-driven optimisation of event processing - Event semantics in processes - Process-event correlation - Events for flexible and adaptive process management - Events in inter-process correlation - Event-driven choreographies - Applications of event-driven process management - Benchmarks and evaluation of event-driven process management
