Abstract: In recent years, variability management in business processes is considered a key of reuse. Research works in this field focused mainly on variability modeling and resolution; whereas, evolution has been somehow neglected. In fact, new business requirements may occur, and business processes must evolve in order to meet the new needs. Furthermore, the evolution at business layer represented by configurable processes impact the IT layer represented by services. In this case, it is necessary to synchronize the changes between these two layers. In other words, the alignment of configurable processes and configurable services must occur to maintain an integrated view of an organization. This can be reached by the concept of service-based configurable processes. The study of existing tools in this domain shows the lack of solutions integrating both the evolution management, and the change propagation with respect to the variability. This article aims to represent the CPMEv, a novel tool for evolution management of service-based configurable processes.
