Constructing and monitoring processes in BPM using hybrid architectures

with the entrance of BPM in the Cloud, a change in the conception and design of Business Processes has been produced. Distributed environments, in this context offer computing possibilities which are advantageous for processes, especially in a decomposition context. This last concept has been introduced in BPM allowing processes to be executed in a cloud environment as well as in an embedded one. This situation takes advantage of both approaches under criteria like sensitive data, high computing performance and system portability. An unexplored aspect in current bibliography is process monitoring over a decomposed environment. In the present article we introduce the analysis of some concepts presented in current bibliography, and we propose also the architecture for a distributed process monitoring system. In this architecture we consider different design factors like location transparency, and the data needed for instance tracking over a cloud system.
