Abstract
Instance-spanning constraints (ISC) constitute a crucial instrument to establish coordination between multiple instances in Process-Aware Information Systems. ISC need to be verified and monitored at design as well as runtime. In this work we propose a rule-based approach for runtime monitoring of ISC. We base our work on the well known Rete algorithm and research ways structure the network in such a way that improves matching speed for ISC. We show through a technical evaluation that (1) a rule-based approach is feasible for performing runtime monitoring of ISC and (2) that the heuristics we extract for structuring the Rete network improve the rule matching speed.
