Process Discovery and
Conformance: New challenges for process-aware information systems

Abstract:
BPI, BAM, SOX and other buzzwords indicate that there is an increased interest
in the monitoring and analysis of business processes. At the same time process
mining has become a vivid research area. Process discovery and conformance
checking are two important challenges for the next generation of process-aware
information systems. The basic idea of process discovery is to uncover process
models based event logs. There are different approaches (e.g., genetic
algorithms but also more analytical approaches) using different target formats
(e.g., Petri nets). Process discovery is not limited to the control-flow
perspective, and may also imply the extraction of data, organizational, and
social structures. Conformance checking aims at detecting and diagnosing
differences between the intended behavior (e.g., a reference model) and the real
behavior. In this talk, Prof. Wil van der Aalst first provides a brief overview
of the research done in the IS group in Eindhoven in the BPM area (e.g.,
workflow patterns and verification) and then zooms into the topic of process
discovery and conformance. He will also show the ProM framework for supporting
process mining efforts and discuss applications in the web services domain..
Biography:
Wil van der Aalst is a full
professor and head of the Information Systems subdepartment of the department of
Technology Management at the Technische Universiteit Eindhoven (TUE). He is also
an adjunct professor at the Faculty of Information Technology of Queensland
University of Technology, directs the Eindhoven Digital Laboratory for Business
Processes (EDL-BP), and is a fellow and management team member of the research
institute BETA. His research interests include business process management,
information systems, simulation, Petri nets, process models, workflow management
systems, process mining, verification techniques, enterprise resource planning
systems, computer supported cooperative work, and cross-organizational business
processes. He published more than 200 books, journal papers, book chapters,
conference papers, and reports on these topics. Moreover, he has been the
involved in the development of several software tools (Woflan, ExSpect, YAWL,
ProM, XRL, etc.) and has been one of the driving forces behind the workflow
patterns initiative.
