In object-aware process management, processes are represented as multiple interacting objects rather than a sequence of activities, enabling data-driven and highly flexible processes. In such flexible scenarios, however, it is crucial to be able to check to what degree the process is executed according to the model (i.e., guided behavior). Conformance checking algorithms (e.g., Token Replay or Alignments) deal with this issue for activity-centric processes based on a process model (e.g., specified as a petri net) and a given event log that reflects how the process instances were actually executed. This paper applies conformance checking algorithms to the behavior of objects. In object-aware process management, object lifecycle processes specify the various states into which corresponding objects may transition as well as the object attribute values required to complete these states. The approach accounts for flexible lifecycle executions using multiple workflow nets and conformance categories, therefore facilitating process analysis for engineers.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
