XES 2.0 Workshop

Posted onAuthorEric Verbeek

Although the popularity and adoption of process mining techniques grew rapidly in recent years, a large portion of effort invested in process mining initiatives is still consumed by event data preparation rather than process analysis. The Task Force on Process Mining conducted a study focused on the challenges faced during event data preparation (from source data to event log).

The XES 2.0 workshop shares the results of this survey and will help guide the evolution of the current XES standard towards XES 2.0. Read more

Call for ICPM Demo Track Extended Abstracts

Posted onAuthorEric Verbeek

The ICPM 2021 Demo Track is intended to showcase innovative Process Mining (PM) tools and applications that may originate either from research initiatives or from industry. The Demo Track will provide an opportunity to present and discuss emerging technologies with researchers and practitioners in the PM field.

To be included in the Demo Track, tools will be evaluated on the basis of relevance to the PM community as well as on novelty and innovativeness. Previously demonstrated tools are also welcome if there is clear evidence of the value added to the previous version of the tool, such as new tool features and/or its adaptation and use for new practical applications.

Call for Discovery Algorithms for PDC 2021

Posted onAuthorEric Verbeek

PDC 2021 is the 2021 edition of the Process Discovery Contest.

Do you believe you have implemented a good discovery algorithm? Then submit it to the PDC 2021 to put it to the test!

This test contains 480 event logs, for which a model needs to be discovered (training logs), and 96 event logs that need to be classified using the discovered models (test logs).

The 96 test logs are all generated from the same configurable model, which was inspired by a model discovered from a real-life event log and has the following configurable options:

  • Long-term dependencies: yes/no
  • Loops: no/simple/complex
    • A simple loop has a single point of entry and a single point of exit.

Call for Research Papers

Posted onAuthorEric Verbeek

The International Conference on Process Mining (ICPM) is the premium forum for researchers, practitioners and developers in process mining. The objective is to explore and exchange knowledge in this field through scientific talks, industry discussions, contests, technical tutorials and panels. The conference covers all aspects of process mining research and practice, including theory, algorithmic challenges, applications and connections with other fields.

The conference is technically co-sponsored by the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society, and supported by the IEEE Task Force on Process Mining.

2nd International Workshop on Trust, Privacy and Security Aspects in Process Analytics (TPSA)

Posted onAuthorEric VerbeekLeave a comment

by Felix Mannhardt, Agnes Koschmider, Nathalie Baracaldo

Trust, privacy, and security have been largely neglected when considering the design and application of Process Mining. The TPSA workshop investigates this from two perspectives: (A) Responsible application of Process Mining including trust that the methods and their results are not misused. (B) Investigating privacy and security aspects of information systems by using Process Mining methods. Our objective is to give a forum for trust, privacy, and security aspects of Process Mining including concerns such as fairness, transparency, and accuracy.

2nd International Workshop on Event Data and Behavioral Analytics (EdbA)

Posted onAuthorEric VerbeekLeave a comment

by Benoît Depaire, Dirk Fahland, Francesco Leotta, Arik Senderovich

EdbA’21 calls for original work on the development of new (or novel applications of existing) techniques, algorithms and data structures for recording, storing, managing, processing, analyzing, and visualizing event data with the purpose of analyzing behavior of all kinds. Event data recorded at various sources, in various forms and at different granularity levels are considered, ranging from frequent sensor-based events in IoT settings to recordings of aggregate or long-running behavior involving time intervals and rich information.
