Monitoring hybrid process specifications with conflict management: An automata-theoretic approach.

Complexity of medical treatments can vary from prescribing medicine for a specific ailment to managing a complex set of simultaneous medical issues. In the latter case, doctors are assisted by clinical guidelines which outline standard medical procedures, tests, treatments, etc. To facilitate the use of such guidelines, they can be digitized as processes and adopted in complex process engines offering additional help to health providers such as decision support while monitoring active treatments so as to detect flaws in treatment procedures and suggest possible reactions on them.

How do I update my model? On the resilience of Predictive Process Monitoring models to change.

Existing well-investigated Predictive Process Monitoring techniques typically construct a predictive model based on past process executions and then use this model to predict the future of new ongoing cases, without the possibility of updating it with new cases when they complete their execution. This can make Predictive Process Monitoring too rigid to deal with the variability of processes working in real environments that continuously evolve and/or exhibit new variant behaviours over time. As a solution to this problem, we evaluate the use of three different strategies that allow the periodic rediscovery or incremental construction of the predictive model so as to exploit new available data.

Compliance monitoring in business processes: Functionalities, application, and tool-support.

In recent years, monitoring the compliance of business processes with relevant regulations, constraints, and rules during runtime has evolved as major concern in literature and practice. Monitoring not only refers to continuously observing possible compliance violations, but also includes the ability to provide fine-grained feedback and to predict possible compliance violations in the future. The body of literature on business process compliance is large and approaches specifically addressing process monitoring are hard to identify.
