Enabling runtime flexibility in data-centric and data-driven process execution engines

作者：

Highlights：

• We provide a set of concepts, algorithms, and implementation details that enable ad-hoc changes to object-aware processes.

• We detail how we ensure correctness of changes and how to reconstruct a consistent process state after their introduction.

• We suggest extensions to the ad-hoc concept that ensure its performance in scenarios with large numbers of process instances.
