[ our apologies should you receive this message more than one time ] ===================================================================== CALL FOR PARTICIPATION 3rd Event-driven Business Process Management Workshop (3rd edBPM '09) at CASCON 2009 November 3rd 2009, Toronto, Canada https://www-927.ibm.com/ibm/cas/cascon/displayWorkshop?PublicView=true&am... 9 "Event-Driven Business Process Management" (EDBPM) refers to an enhancement of traditional BPM through novel combinations of Service Oriented Architectures (SOA), Event Driven Architectures (EDA), Software as a Service (SaaS), Business Activity Monitoring (BAM) and the Processing of Complex Events (CEP). BPM in turn, refers to a software platform which provides companies and end-users the ability to model, manage and optimize business processes. This workshop introduces the state-of-art concepts underlying EDBPM solutions, summarize standard best practices in event management, and discusses the shortcomings, challenges and obstacles. Specifically, there has been little understanding of service impact beyond event severity and root-cause of business events. This brought attention to more sophisticated correlation mechanisms and infrastructure to reason about dependency between events and their sources. Also, we discuss the various methods of mapping event incidents to customer SLA and KPI that are crucial for identifying any escalating problems critical to the business. ============ Registration ============ CASCON registration and Workshop signups are now open.
