The Event Processing Network for Systematic Reduction of Interoperability Deviations in a Business Ecosystem

Abstract

This work proposes the model of the event processing network for the systematic reduction of interoperability deviations in a business ecosystem. Complex event processing technology supports real-time events monitoring in collaborative business processes for the behaviors specified as interoperability deviations, generating alerts when such situations occur. As a reaction, alerts on interoperability deviations are delivered as personalized information to the right consumer as a designated collaboration partner. The event processing network enables collaboration partners to be proactive in interoperability deviations and to eliminate the impact of interoperability deviations on the business process objectives in the business ecosystem. In observing the data as events about realized collaborative business processes during this research, characteristic patterns of events were discovered. The logic for event processing was specified for the systematic reduction of interoperability deviations in the business ecosystem. This work proposes two processes with phases to facilitate the development of the proposed event processing network in a business ecosystem. The logic for event processing was applied through data streams from the public administration and health care systems in collaboration.
