Comprehensive and continuous compliance monitoring is crucial for many process scenarios, e.g., machine-spanning production processes. However, business process execution data is often scattered over several heterogeneous event sources and needs to be seamlessly incorporated into the data structure of the compliance checking system. The proposed COMS approach offers the possibility to define business rules based on process behaviour and the ability to handle events from different information system sources in an integrated way. COMS consists of a generic data structure to store process information, a rule language, and matching concepts. COMS concepts are prototypically implemented and evaluated based on a real-world event stream from the manufacturing domain.
