Abstract

The collaborative working of process-oriented and event-based business process management (BPM) methods in a service-oriented architecture (SOA) is supported. The execution models of the business process include process-oriented execution models and event-based execution models. The process-oriented execution models and the event-based execution models are executed at runtime. A bridge implements the interaction between the process-oriented runtime execution and the event-based runtime execution.
