Modeling and enforcement of business policies on process models with maestro

Abstract

Business policies and rules govern and guide the business processes of an organization. Enterprises usually only document their business policies and rules in natural language. This makes the procedure of determining which business policies and rules apply to a certain process and their enforcement on this process very costly and cumbersome. We present a tool that supports formal specification of policies and rules and their automated enforcement on process models. We explain the research background underlying the tool, and we overview what will be demonstrated at ESWC. © 2009 Springer Berlin Heidelberg.
