We set up a framework for studying the extremal behavior of heavy-tailed stochastic processes. In this framework the concept of regular variation for a stochastic process with right-continuous sample path paths with left limits is essential, a concept introduced in de Haan and Lin (2001). We study the extremal behavior of various processes driven by a regularly varying Levy process (simply a Levy process satisfying that the process at some fixed time is a regularly varying random vector). Examples are filtered Levy processes and stochastic integrals with respect to a Levy process. We illustrate the results by simulations and comment on applications of the results.
