Abstract

Artifact-driven process monitoring is a technique that exploits the E-GSM modeling language to seamlessly monitor multi-party business processes. Despite allowing greater flexibility in monitoring, E-GSM makes the modeling and understanding of monitoring results harder than imperative process modeling languages. To overcome this limitation, methods to automatically transform imperative process models into (E-)GSM models have been introduced. However, to the best of our knowledge, no approach to show monitoring results obtained with artifact-driven monitoring over the original imperative process model has been proposed. In this paper, we propose a method to map the results, and in particular execution flow violations, back to BPMN diagrams.
