Abstract

A method for monitoring a business process model in which at least one business process object transitions between states. A query having at least one state for the business process object and at least one time-based condition is defined. The query is applied to the business process objects that have changed since a last query application step as a result of execution of the business process model. Events are published when the results of the query are different from previous results of the query. The time based conditions can include conditions compared to actual time and can aggregated values of attributes of plural business process objects and current time.
