Monitoring Constraints and Metaconstraints with Temporal Logics on Finite Traces

Runtime monitoring is a central operational decision support task in business process management. It helps executors to check on-the-fly whether running instance satisfies constraints of interest, providing an immediate feedback when deviations occur. We study runtime properties expressed ltl f , variant the classical (Linear-time Temporal Logic) that interpreted over finite traces, and its extension ldl powerful logic obtained by combining with regular expressions. show able declaratively express, itself, not only be monitored, but also de facto standard rv -LTL monitors. On one hand, this enables us directly employ characterization based on finite-state automata monitor fine-grained way. other it provides basis for expressing sophisticated metaconstraints predicate state constraints, them relying logical services instead ad hoc algorithms. then report how approach has been effectively implemented using Java manipulate formulae their corresponding monitors, RuM rule mining suite as underlying infrastructure.
