Abstract
As a result of globalization and the falling profit margin, companies started to outsource their processes ensured by contracts. This is also happening within the logistics service sector. The resulting networks, which must be managed and monitored, have a very collaborative and dynamic character. Based on the Fourth Party Logistics Provider business model that aims at establishing as a coordinator of such networks the usability of complex event processing is discussed. A typical workflow exemplifies the challenges in terms of monitoring. Besides the theoretical model a possible solution approach with the use of complex event processing is discussed.
