Summary:The notion of a BPaaS is currently taking a momentum as many organisations attempt to move and offer their business processes (BPs) in the cloud. Such BPs need to be adaptively provisioned so as to sustain the service level promised in the respective SLA. However, current cloud-based adaptation frameworks cannot cover all possible abstraction levels and usually rely on simplistic adaptation rules. As such, this paper proposes a novel BPaaS adaptation framework able to orchestrate actions on different abstraction levels so as to better address the current problematic situation. This framework can support the dynamic generation of adaptation workflows as well as the recording of the adaptation history for analysis purposes. It is also coupled with the CAMEL language which has been extended to support the specification of cross-level adaptation workflows.
