Granular Process Properties (GPPs) are the driving factors of business transactions. The key idea of these properties is to augment the business influence in transaction by combining the transaction properties originate from business entities (e.g., service level agreement) with classical transaction properties (ACID). Granular process properties go far beyond conventional application properties that are considered in traditional system transaction models, and include: operational level agreements (SLA/SLO), underpinning contracts, policies, rules and QoS thresholds for services at the application-level. Some of these process properties may be designated as being transactional in nature as they can be used to drive a service composition, e.g., end-to-end SLAs. In this way, granular process criteria can be used to drive and manage the composition of end-to-end processes at the application level. In particular, end-to-end processes exhibit transactional characteristics to deliver on undertakings or commitments that govern their formation and execution at the SBA-level. In other words, an entire end-to-end process or parts of it may fail if some transactional process properties, e.g., non-conformance to SLAs or aggregate mean-value KPIs, are violated.
