Item type:Publication, Understanding Quality in Declarative Process Modeling Through the Mental Models of Experts(Springer International Publishing, 2020); ;Christopher J. Davis ;Andrea Burattin ;Hugo A. LópezTijs SlaatsImperative process models have become immensely popular. However, their use is usually limited to rigid and repetitive processes. Considering the inherent flexibility in most processes in the real-world and the increased need for managing knowledge-intensive processes, the adoption of declarative languages becomes more pertinent than ever. While the quality of imperative models has been extensively investigated in the literature, little is known about the dimensions affecting the quality of declarative models. This work takes an advanced stride to investigate the quality of declarative models. Following the theory of Personal Construct Psychology (PCT), our research introduces a novel method within the Business Process Management (BPM) field to explore quality in the eyes of expert modelers. The findings of this work summarize the dimensions defining the quality of declarative models. The outcome shows the potential of PCT as a basis to discover quality dimensions and advances our understanding of quality in declarative process models.Type:conference paperJournal:Business Process ManagementScopus© Citations 11 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, The Impact of Modularization on the Understandability of Declarative Process Models: A Research Model(Springer International Publishing, 2020); ;Pnina Soffer ;Tijs Slaats ;Andrea BurattinProcess models provide a blueprint for process execution and an indispensable tool for process management. Bearing in mind their trending use for requirement elicitation, communication and improvement of business processes, the need for understandable process models becomes a must. In this paper, we propose a research model to investigate the impact of modularization on the understandability of declarative process models. We design a controlled experiment supported by eye-tracking, electroencephalography (EEG) and galvanic skin response (GSR) to appraise the understandability of hierarchical process models through measures such as comprehension accuracy, response time, attention, cognitive load and cognitive integration.Type:conference paperJournal:Lecture Notes in Information Systems and Organisation, Information Systems and Neuroscience (NeuroIS)Scopus© Citations 9 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Toward an Automated Labeling of Event Log AttributesProcess mining aims at exploring the data produced by executable business processes to mine the underlying control-flow and data-flow. Most of the process mining algorithms assume the existence of an event log with a certain maturity level. Unfortunately, the logs provided by process unaware information systems often do not comply with the required maturity level, since they lack the notion of process instance, also referred in process mining as “case id”. Without a proper identification of the case id attribute in log files, the outcome of process mining algorithms is unpredictable. This paper proposes a new approach that aims to overcome this challenge by automatically inferring the case id attribute from log files. The approach has been implemented as a ProM plugin and evaluated with several real-world event logs. The results demonstrate a high accuracy in inferring the case id attribute.Type:conference paperScopus© Citations 15 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
