Dear all,
I’m proud to announce that the book on Conformance Checking that we have
written over the past year or so is available on Springer.
The e-book can be ordered at Springer via
https://www.springer.com/gb/book/9783319994130. If your institute has
access to SpingerLink, you can directly download the e-book at
https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-319-99414-7.
Hardcovers will be available early next year.
This book introduces readers to the field of conformance checking as a
whole and outlines the fundamental relation between modelled and
recorded behaviour. Conformance checking interrelates the modelled and
recorded behaviour of a given process and provides techniques and
methods for comparing and analysing observed instances of a process in
the presence of a model, independent of the model’s origin. Its goal is
to provide an overview of the essential techniques and methods in this
field at an intuitive level, together with precise formalisations of its
underlying principles.
The book is divided into three parts, that are meant to cover different
perspectives of the field of conformance checking. Part I presents a
comprehensive yet accessible overview of the essential concepts used to
interrelate modelled and recorded behaviour. It also serves as a
reference for assessing how conformance checking efforts could be
applied in specific domains. Next, Part II provides readers with
detailed insights into algorithms for conformance checking, including
the most commonly used formal notions and their instantiation for
specific analysis questions. Lastly, Part III highlights applications
that help to make sense of conformance checking results, thereby
providing a necessary next step to increase the value of a given process
model. They help to interpret the outcomes of conformance checking and
incorporate them by means of enhancement and repair techniques.
Providing the core building blocks of conformance checking and
describing its main applications, this book mainly addresses students
specializing in business process management, researchers entering
process mining and conformance checking for the first time, and advanced
professionals whose work involves process evaluation, modelling and
optimization.
Kind regards,
