Abstract

This report presents an engine-independent WS-BPEL 2.0 event model. It supports both passive monitoring and active control of process execution by external applications. Some of the assumptions in the presented event model are inspired by a particular implementation, e.g. fault handling and compensation; however they are kept as general as possible, so that they can be mapped on other engine-specific approaches to tackle faults and support compensation. In addition, the report draws on the experience of some of the authors in business process management and software development. The overall BPEL event model consists of a set of event models for the different types of BPEL entities that change their states: processes, process instances, general activities, scope activities, invoke activities, loops, links, variables, partner links, and correlation sets. The event model is used by the authors of the report in several projects, all utilizing process life cycle events in different scenarios.
