Foundations of Process Mining (2AMI10) 2023

Data science is the profession of the future, because organizations that are unable to use (big) data in a smart way will not survive. It is not sufficient to focus on data storage and data analysis. The data scientist also needs to relate data to process analysis. Process mining bridges the gap between traditional model-based Read More …

Adding heuristics to the Block Layout

The Block Layout can be used to create a layout for a process graph. For this, it uses well-known Petri-net-based reduction rules to reduce the entire net into a single place. For nicely structured process graphs, this layout works quite well, but for more complex structured graphs, the resulting layout needs to be improved. Either Read More …
