• Abstract summary: We propose a new Outcome-Oriented Prescriptive Process Monitoring system. It recommends temporal relations between activities that have to be guaranteed during the process execution. This softens the mandatory execution of an activity at a given point in time, thus leaving more freedom to the user.

• Abstract: Prescriptive Process Monitoring systems recommend, during the execution of a business process, interventions that, if followed, prevent a negative outcome of the process. Such interventions have to be reliable, that is, they have to guarantee the achievement of the desired outcome or performance, and they have to be flexible, that is, they have to avoid overturning the normal process execution or forcing the execution of a given activity. Most of the existing Prescriptive Process Monitoring solutions, however, while performing well in terms of recommendation reliability, provide the users with very specific (sequences of) activities that have to be executed without caring about the feasibility of these recommendations. In order to face this issue, we propose a new Outcome-Oriented Prescriptive Process Monitoring system recommending temporal relations between activities that have to be guaranteed during the process execution in order to achieve a desired outcome. This softens the mandatory execution of an activity at a given point in time, thus leaving more freedom to the user in deciding the interventions to put in place. Our approach defines these temporal relations with Linear Temporal Logic over finite traces patterns that are used as features to describe the historical process data recorded in an event log by the information systems supporting the execution of the process. Such encoded log is used to train a Machine Learning classifier to learn a mapping between the temporal patterns and the outcome of a process execution. The classifier is then queried at runtime to return as recommendations the most salient temporal patterns to be satisfied to maximize the likelihood of a certain outcome for an input ongoing process execution. The proposed system is assessed using a pool of 22 real-life event logs that have already been used as a benchmark in the Process Mining community.

  Predictive process monitoring is based on exploiting execution data from past instances to predict the execution of current cases. It is possible to make predictions on the next activity and remaining time, among others, to anticipate possible deviations, violations, and delays in the processes to take preventive measures. In this work, we propose an extension for collaborative processes of traditional process prediction, considering particularities of this type of process.

  Deviance mining is concerned with uncovering the reasons for deviant executions by analyzing event logs stored by the systems supporting the execution of a business process. The problem of explaining deviations in business processes is first investigated by using features based on sequential and declarative patterns. The explanations are then extracted by direct and indirect methods for rule induction.
