What is Compliance Criterion

Chapter 6
Handbook of Research on Complex Dynamic Process Management: Techniques for Adaptability in Turbulent Environments
refers to a well-established correctness criterion for adaptive workflows that can be applied to check whether a running workflow instance is compliant with a changed workflow schema; i.e., whether the change is valid for the workflow instance. For example, compliance will be always ensured if the execution log of the respective workflow instance can be produced on the new schema as well.

Abstract
This chapter shows how flexibility can be realized for distributed workflows. The capability to dynamically adapt workflow instances during runtime (e.g., to add, delete or move activities) constitutes a fundamental challenge for any workflow management system (WfMS). While there has been significant research on ad-hoc workflow changes and on related correctness issues, there exists only little work on how to provide respective runtime flexibility in an enterprise-wide context as well. Here, scalability at the presence of high loads constitutes an essential requirement, often necessitating distributed (i.e., piecewise) control of a workflow instance by different workflow servers, which should be as independent from each other as possible. This chapter presents advanced concepts and techniques for enabling adhoc workflow changes in a distributed WfMS as well. Our focus is on minimizing the communication costs among workflow servers, while ensuring a correct execution behavior as well as correctness of ad-hoc workflow changes at any time.

Enabling Adaptive Process-Aware Information Systems with ADEPT2
Refers to a well-established correctness criterion that can be applied to check whether a running process instance is compliant with a modified process schema or not (i.e., whether it can dynamically migrate to this schema or not). For example, compliance will be always ensured if the execution log of the respective process instance can be produced on the new schema as well.
