Original Abstract

The business process must reflect changes in the
environment, therefore the adaptation of the process model or
the particular process instance is essential. The state
compliance criterion has been introduced to check that
dynamic process change is correct and does not lead to
soundness problems or run-time errors. In some cases,
however, the process instance must immediately be migrated to
the changed model or updated itself; hence the strategy of
coping with the non-compliant process instance must be
chosen. This paper presents the process re-execution approach
which effectively implements the state compliance test. The reexecution
algorithm makes it possible to defer the suitable
activities and use them later, thus offering a flexible solution
for treating the non-compliant process instances. Moreover,
a custom strategy of treating can be used based on the full
context of the activity that caused the inconsistency.
