To specify process modeling language semantics and build corresponding enactment engine is a challenging problem. We propose a model driven approach which combines structural and event-based behavioral meta-modeling techniques. These specifications are transformed into a software architecture for a process enactment engine that exploits publish-subscribe patterns and message based asynchronous execution.
