ABSTRACT
Making a business process more dynamic is an open issue, and we think it is feasible if we decompose the business process structure in a set of rules, like ECA (Event Condition Action) rules, each of them representing a transition of the business process, i.e. an edge of the business process graph structure. As a consequence the business process engine can be realized by reusing and integrating an existing Rule Engine. We are proposing a way for representing Dynamic Business Process in terms of Rules based on patterns identification. With this approach it is easy to apply on a business process instance both user-based personalization rules and automatic rules inferred by an underlying context-aware system.
