RQ1 What is the best architecture of a

BPMS that facilitates a party switch in a collaboration?

RQ2How can the BPMS of the parties

involved in a collaboration support a runtime party change if the

collaboration is controlled globally?

RQ3 How can a process discovery technique

facilitate a runtime party change in a collaboration if the collaboration is

not controlled globally?

• Systematic Literature Review (SLR) Methodology• 78 selected articles out of 2,514 articles

• Results• Runtime adaptation within a single-organizational has been well understood,

but…• Further research must be undertaken to investigate the effect of runtime

adaptation on the inter-organizational collaboration setting.

Runtime Party Switch Technique

• A technique for enabling runtime party switch1. replaces an old party in an inter-organizational collaboration with a new party,2. determines the extent to which the state can be transferred from the old party

to the new party and transfers the state, and3. communicates with other parties which may need to adapt their states as well.

• Evaluation• Conceptual prototype, and• Practical prototype in the context of the GET Service EU project

• Two-Phase process discovery algorithm to • Phase (1): reconstruct the missing collaboration model of the involved parties,

and• Phase (2): relate the communications that belong to each other and, therefore,

belong to the same instance of a collaboration.

• Evaluation• Synthetic event logs, and• Real-world event log
