Process compliance deals with the ability to ensure that the business processes of a company comply with domain-specific regulations and rules. So far, compliance issues have been mainly addressed for intra-organizational business processes, whereas there is little work dealing with compliance in the context of cross-organizational processes that involve multiple business partners. As opposed to intra-organizational processes, for cross-organizational processes, compliance must be addressed at different modeling levels, ranging from interaction models via public process models of the partners to their private processes. Accordingly, there exist different levels of compliance rules, which include local compliance rules of a particular partner as well as global compliance rules to be obeyed by all partners of the cross-organizational process. This paper focuses on compliance checking of interaction models. For this purpose, we introduce the concept of compliability, which shall guarantee that an interaction models does not be in conflict with a set of imposed global compliance rules.
