Reality is not always what it seems!

Tele-TASK-Aufzeichnung des Vortrags

In his speech, Wil van der Aalst gives an overview of the various process mining techniques that have been developed in the last 10 years. He will show the different applications of process mining: from the reverse engineering of code and the monitoring of embedded systems to cross-organizational workflows and health-care processes. He will also describe the capabilities of the various process mining techniques recently developed and discuss the many challenges that remain. The focus will be on the mining of concurrent processes, i.e., based on incomplete and noisy logs it is possible to discover process models allowing for concurrency (e.g., Petri nets). All of this will be illustrated by ProM a toolset that is not limited to process mining but also supports model transformation and verification. For example, ProM has been used to discover many errors the SAP reference model and is able to convert discovered models into BPEL, YAWL, etc.

Speaker: Prof. Dr. ir. Wil van der Aalst is a full professor of Information Systems at the Technische Universität Eindhoven (TU/e) having a position in both the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science and the department of Technology Management. Currently he is also an adjunct professor at Queensland University of Technology (QUT) working within the BPM group there. His research interests include workflow management, process mining, Petri nets, business process management, process modeling, and process analysis. Wil van der Aalst has published more than 70 journal papers, 12 books (as author or editor), 200 refereed conference publications, and 20 book chapters.
