In this paper, we present CAptLang, a language to model context-aware and adaptable business processes where the main feature is the possibility of leaving the handling of extraordinary or improbable situations to run time. We present CAptLang with its formal syntax and semantics. Moreover we show how its semantics have been used to guide the implementation of a Java-based business processes execution engine, component of the ASTRO-CAptEvo adaptation framework. date: 2013 date_type: published publisher: ACM pagerange: 1-5 id_number: doi:10.1145/2430502.2430519 refereed: TRUE isbn: 978-1-4503-1541-8 book_title: Proceedings of the Seventh International Workshop on Variability Modelling of Software-intensive Systems - VaMoS '13 official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1145/2430502.2430519 projects: This work has been partially supported by the French National Research Agency (ANR), projects REVER ANR 11 INSE 007 and PiCoq ANR 10 BLAN 0305. citation: Bucchiarone, Antonio and Mezzina, Claudio Antares and Pistore, Marco CAptLang: a language for context-aware and adaptable business processes.
