Organizations today are required to adhere to a
number of compliance concerns from laws, regulations and
policies. Compliance is achieved through defining and implementing
so-called controls within the organizations´ business
processes. Organizations that build their systems based on
the process-driven SOA paradigm realize business processes
through invocation of services to handle the different process
activities. We propose an approach for monitoring business
compliance in service-oriented systems-we represent a service
invocation as an event, enabling us to map business
process activities into trails of events that make up compliant
business processes. The event trails guide the creation of
rules, which are leveraged by complex event processing
techniques to monitor business processes for compliance. A
case study from the telecommunications sector is used to
demonstrate how we achieve compliance detection. In this
case study, we use our approach to identify violations of
licensing compliance requirements in the business process of
a multimedia service provider.
