Integrating Process-Oriented and Event-Based Systems (Dagstuhl Seminar 16341)

This report documents the programme and the outcomes of Dagstuhl Seminar 16341 on "Integrating Process-Oriented and Event-Based Systems", which took place August 21--26, 2016, at Schloss Dagstuhl -- Leibniz Center for Informatics. The seminar brought together researchers and practitioners from the communities that have been established for research on process-oriented information systems on the one hand, and event-based systems on the other hand. By exploring the use of processes in event handling (from the distribution of event processing to the assessment of event data quality), the use of events in processes (from rich event semantics in processes to support for flexible BPM), and the role of events in process choreographies, the seminar identified the diverse connections between the scientific fields. This report summarises the outcomes of the seminar by reviewing the state-of-the-art and outlining research challenges on the intersection of process-oriented and event-based systems.
