A propos du projet: BEM 

Business process management systems aim at ensuring an efficient chaining of the tasks composing a business process. Their activity rely on process models representing sets of business scenarios. Unfortunately, these models cannot take all the possible states of the environment into account, especially when a process is executed in a dynamic environment. The BEM (Business Event Manager) framework has been designed and developed in order to support dynamic process re-design at
run-time in situations where incompatibilities with the predefined model occur. The heart of the solution combines a business process engine, a complex event processing engine and an abductive planner. This paper describes the support offered by the BEM framework and presents a generic description of the architecture together with its implementation.
