Authoring and deploying business policies dynamically for compliance monitoring

A policy authoring tool is integrated into a business provenance management system for dynamically authoring, deploying and monitoring compliance. The policy authoring tool enables creation of business rules in the language business people understand and deploys them into a rule engine. Once the policy is deployed, the compliance of process execution traces stored in a business provenance management system can be checked against these rules. Salient features of the solution architecture, including semantic mapping of IT terminology into business vocabulary and transforming business rules into key control points in the compliance checking system, are explained. © 2011 IEEE.
