Business process adaptation using discrete event controller synthesis

Abstract

Discrete Event Controller Synthesis is a fully automated procedure for producing operational reactive strategies for achieving declarative goals. In this talk I will discuss how synthesis at runtime can play a key role in achieving self-adaptation. I will discuss a reference architecture for self-adaptive systems and focus on the problem of dynamic controller update. I will also explain why discrete event controller synthesis is particularly well suited for runtime adaptation of business processes, in particular for dynamic update of workflows.
