As service technology is maturing, world-wide organizations are embracing it at rapid pace, by publishing, requesting and cooperating their know-how mainly through (Web-)services. As a consequence, complexity and competitiveness are tending to shift from pure monolithic process-centricity and rigidity towards dynamic agility and multi-concern knowledge-intensiveness.

To conceptually address these emerging and pressing challenges, this presentation discusses a progressive and model-driven architectural approach. As key drivers behind this proposal, we emphasize particularly the following milestones. Firstly, we promote event-driven cross-organizational and multi-concern business rules to intrinsically tackle evolution and adaptability. Secondly, we respect a fine-grained activity-based vision instead of the mostly adopted holistic business process view. Thirdly, as certification underpinnings, we demonstrate how techniques akin to rewriting logic could best fitting the approach. Finally, for deployment phase we recapitulate on the strengths of aspect-orientation and XML-based rules. The approach is illustrated using a simplified case from E-banking.
