Based on the state of the art of process mining, we can conclude that quality characteristics (failure rate metrics or loops) are poorly represented or absent in most predictive models that can be found in the literature. The main goal of this present research work is to analyze how to learn prediction model defining failure as response variable. A model of this type can be used for active real-time-controlling...
In this paper we describe an algorithm to automatically detect correlation identifiers from arbitrary data sources. Correlation identifiers can be useful for determining relationships between data in order to isolate instances of a running business process for the purposes of process monitoring and discovery. We have implemented our algorithm and validate our approach on a simulator that implements...
Convergence of data mining and process management is ideal - but still limited. An example of such a convergence is presented in the form of APE Framework that addresses the problem of static-agent-assignment-strategies in Workflow Management Systems (WfMS) - one cause of poor business process performance since all eligible agents may be assigned to a task instead of only assigning those which are...
Business decision-making is not a simple task. There are many reasons for that but one of the main reason might be that data comes from different operational sources of an organization and it is difficult to organize and maintain especially if a huge volume of data is involved. A Data warehouse is helpful in this regard as it can assist in business decision-making by collecting data from different...
A number of business organizations are beginning to realize the importance of business process management. However, process can often go the way they were initially not designed for or a non-efficient performance process model could be designed. To solve this problem, business process mining which can be used as the basis for the business process re-engineering has been recognized to an important...
In order to mining the organizational setting and interactions among coworkers from workflow logs, we define metrics to establish the relationships among originators by analyzing the information in the workflow logs. Generate relation networks from the workflow logs by applying the handover of work metric. By applying these methods, we can construct the corresponding relation networks which reflects...
Evaluation for the trustworthy of software is now one of the focuses of software engineering. This paper establishes a workflow software trustworthy evaluation model based on grey relation by defining the evaluation indexes of workflow software' capability using the fuzzy math method, and explains the specific calculation process taking the current workflow productions as examples. According to the...
Grid technology has implemented effectively large scale resource share and high performance task collaboration, while grid workflow enables automated integration and automated execution based on grid services. However, currently transaction research on grid workflow is still not mature, and there are limitations when traditional transaction management approaches from transactional workflow are applied...
Grid workflow schedule requires sophisticated expertise of domain in order to automate the process of managing workflows and its components. QoS-aware selection and execution of grid workflow can fulfill customer's expectations, a new preference method is proposed to design the grid workflow schedule. The grid workflow matching relation is achieved by mobile agent negotiation based on projection-join...
Many activities in business process management, such as process search, process clustering, and process mining, need to determine the similarity between two process models. Although several approaches have recently been proposed to measure the behavioral similarity between business processes, all of them require that tasks in processes are properly labeled. According to these approaches, similarity...
Nowadays, there exist some difficulties in the workflow of the bachelor degree final design. At students' final year at university, some students have to intern in the fields. They are hard to communicate with supervisors face to face when they do final designs. Even though the students are in the university, meeting face to face wastes a lot of time. In order to improve the work efficiency of the...
Optimal workplace coalition generation is a key technique in migrating workflow. A trust model that describes cooperation relationships among workflow entities is presented. Different from traditional trust models, the trust model organizes confidence of a workflow engine in a workplace by two categories, capability confidence and recommendation confidence. Based on the trust model, oriented towards...
The windows workflow foundation (WF) has been introduced as part of the .NET framework as a means of creating workflow-centric applications. Its intended field of application is broad, ranging from fat-client applications and Web applications to enterprise application integration solutions. Unlike other approaches windows workflow supports two distinct approaches to workflow specification - sequential...
Workflow is the most widespread modeling technique application in the field of business and office information systems. In the previous paper introduced P-graph-based workflow modeling extended by the introduction of resource management is a systematic, fast method of optimal workflow model generation based on network synthesis with correct mathematical background. In this paper a further extension,...
Data flow is a guarantee of control flow which can implement correctly in workflow management system. Processing and tempering data flow has been becoming more important. Workflow data patterns firstly use pattern-based to summarize 40 patterns for the characters and implement of data which is in data perspective in workflow. Xinpai-driven workflow computation model which was developed by software...
We describe a framework and methodology for managing the privacy policy of an enterprise, including creation (based on factors like legislation and consumer preferences), validation and verification, deployment and enforcement, and compliance testing for business processes and software. To evaluate this approach, one module of our framework (compliance testing) is implemented for an existing prominent...
Workflow management systems (WfMS) are widely used for improving business processes and providing better quality of services. However, rapid changes in business environment can cause exceptions in WfMS leading to deadline violation and other consequences. In these circumstances, one of the crucial tasks for a workflow administrator is to detect any potential exceptions as early as possible so that...
The research field "Services Science" deals with the opportunities and challenges arising inside and outside of organizations in service sectors, aiming at the industrialization (global division of labor and automation) of these sectors. This goal can only be reached when the performance know-how an individual needs to execute a task can be language-critically reconstructed and managed with...
This paper introduces a flexible persistence model for state machine workflows. In contrast to the persistence support in contemporary process definition languages and corresponding workflow engines we propose a model where, firstly, an arbitrary number of persistence providers can be attached to the process engine and, secondly, the workflows can dynamically decide when they should be stored persistently...
In business process management, graph-based models are used to represent coordination protocols between collaborating partners as well as for service orchestration and composition. At runtime however, current process engines are commonly based on mainly block-structured languages, such as BPEL, that differ structurally and semantically from process graphs. Recent work has accomplished elaborate mappings...
