  • Predicting the need of Nursing or Care Home and Home Care - (Verpleeg- en Verzorgingshuizen en Thuiszorg (VVT) in Dutch)  The St. Antonius hospital in Nieuwegein is an ambitious top clinical training hospital. Every year, more than 40,000 patients are admitted, of which 6,000 patients go home through Care Mediation with home care or to a nursing or care home. This outflow is very erratic with seasonal influences. At Read More ...
  • Happy nurses - The biggest problem that Dutch hospitals face today is the lack of nursing staff. Therefore, hospital beds are closed to maintain safety levels for the already admitted patients. However, patients on the waiting list or those already planned for elective care experience longer waiting times. And sometimes emergency care beds have to be closed causing Read More ...

  • Conformance Checking: Timed, Stochastic, and Systemic Trace Insights - Conformance checking helps us understand how well the process behavior recorded in event logs matches the process behavior prescribed by a process model. The goal of this project is to advance conformance checking methods by integrating timed and stochastic aspects of process behavior and optimizing alignments across entire event logs. We will:
  • Improving Conformance Checking Algorithms with Ground Truth-Driven Insights - Conformance checking helps us understand how well the process behavior recorded in event logs matches the process behavior prescribed by a process model. The goal of this project is to improve conformance checking methods by using a more reliable way of evaluating and validating them. We will:
  • AIDE: AI Driving Education - Background and General Information AIDE (AI Driving Education) responds to the growing presence of large language model (LLM) tools like ChatGPT, Cursor, and Copilot in academic environments. These tools are increasingly used by students, influencing both how they learn and how their work is assessed. The proposal addresses this shift by embedding responsible AI tool Read More ...
  • BPR4GDPR - Business Process Re-engineering for General Data Protection Regulation Description The goal of BPR4GDPR is to provide a holistic framework able to support end-to-end GDPR-compliant intra- and interorganisational ICT-enabled processes at various scales, while also being generic enough, fulfilling operational requirements covering diverse application domains. To this end, proposed solutions will have a strong semantic foundation Read More ...
