Research Field Monitoring and Controlling
Some processes are intrinsically continuous and, usually, cannot be stopped without danger. In these cases, but also in general the suitability is clear, there is the need of monitoring performance with customizable metrics and then using the monitored data as input in the process to automatically alter the definition of execution of the processes (e.g. work balancing). The loop from the monitoring to the definition or execution phase rarely exists in the current systems. Hence, in addition to the monitoring research issues, methods and implementations for coupling monitoring phase with definition and executing phase should be further investigated.
