• Abstract: Benchmarking functionalities in current commercial process mining tools allow organizations to contextualize their process performance through high-level performance indicators, such as completion rate or throughput time. However, they do not suggest any measures to close potential performance gaps. To address this limitation, we propose a prescriptive technique for process execution benchmarking that recommends targeted process changes to improve process performance. The technique compares an event log from an ``own'' process to one from a selected benchmark process to identify potential activity replacements, based on behavioral similarity. It then evaluates each proposed change in terms of its feasibility and its estimated performance impact. The result is a list of potential process modifications that can serve as evidence-based decision support for process improvement initiatives.

  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.

  In existing work, it is usually assumed that the set of problematic process instances in which an undesirable outcome occurs is known prior or is easily detectable. We formulate finding the process enhancement areas as a context-sensitive anomaly/outlier detection problem. We aim to characterize those situations where process performance/outcome is significantly different from what was expected.

  We show how to develop interpretable representations of how agents make decisions. By understanding the decision-making processes underlying a set of observed trajectories, we cast the policy inference problem as the inverse to this online learning problem. We introduce a practical algorithm for retrospectively estimating such perceived effects, alongside the process through which agents update them. Through application to the analysis of UNOS organ donation acceptance decisions, we demonstrate that our approach can bring valuable insights into the factors that govern decision processes and how they change over time.

  In real-life business processes, different behaviors exist that make the overall process too complex to interpret. Process comparison is a branch of process mining that isolates different behaviors of the process from each other by using process cubes. We propose a process cube framework, which supports process cube operations such as slice and dice on object-centric event logs.

  Digital transformation forces companies to rethink their processes to meet current customer needs. Business Process Management (BPM) can provide the means to structure and tackle this change. Most approaches to BPM face restrictions on the number of processes they can optimize at a time due to complexity and resource restrictions. Investigating this shortcoming, the concept of the long tail of business processes suggests a hybrid approach that entails managing important processes centrally, while incrementally improving the majority of processes at their place of execution.
