Given a model of the expected behavior of a business process and an event log recording its observed behavior, the problem of business process conformance checking is that of identifying and describing the differences between the model and…

The lack of trust in algorithms is usually an issue when using Reinforcement Learning (RL) agents for control in real-world domains such as production plants, autonomous vehicles, or traffic-related infrastructure, partly due to the lack of…

In the last fifteen years, the high performance computing (HPC) community has claimed for parallel programming environments that reconciles generality, higher level of abstraction, portability, and efficiency for distributed-memory parallel…

[Context and motivation] When developing software, coordination between different organizational units is essential in order to develop a good quality product, on time and within budget. Particularly, the synchronization between…

Conformance checking is a set of process mining functions that compare process instances with a given process model. It identifies deviations between the process instances' actual behaviour ("as-is") and its modelled behaviour ("to-be").…

The capability to store data about business processes execution in so-called Event Logs has brought to the diffusion of tools for the analysis of process executions and for the assessment of the goodness of a process model. Nonetheless,…

We recently proposed an approach for the specification and modular formal verification of the interactive (I/O) behavior of programs, based on an embedding of Petri nets into separation logic. While this approach is scalable and modular in…

This study deals with the problem of task and motion planning of autonomous systems within the context of high-level tasks. Specifically, a task comprises logical requirements (conjunctions, disjunctions, and negations) on the trajectories…

A compositional Petri net-based semantics is given to a simple language allowing pointer manipulation and parallelism. The model is then applied to give a notion of validity to the judgements made by concurrent separation logic that…

Supply chains involve geographically distributed manufacturing and assembly sites that must be coordinated under strict timing and resource constraints. While many existing approaches rely on Colored Petri Nets to model material flows, this…

Workflow nets are a well-established mathematical formalism for the analysis of business processes arising from either modeling tools or process mining. The central decision problems for workflow nets are $k$-soundness, generalised…

Asynchronous programming is a ubiquitous systems programming idiom to manage concurrent interactions with the environment. In this style, instead of waiting for time-consuming operations to complete, the programmer makes a non-blocking call…

Business process monitoring approaches have thus far mainly focused on monitoring the execution of a process with respect to a single process model. However, in some cases it is necessary to consider multiple process specifications…

With the rise of data-centric process management paradigms, interdependent processes, such as artifacts or object lifecycles, form a business process through their interactions. Coordination processes may be used to coordinate these…

Despite growing interest in process analysis and mining for data-aware specifications, alignment-based conformance checking for declarative process models has focused on pure control-flow specifications, or mild data-aware extensions…

To model check concurrent systems, it is convenient to distinguish between the data flow and the control. Correctness is specified on the level of data flow whereas the system is configured on the level of control. Petri nets with transits…

When checking concurrent software using a finite-state model, we face a formidable state explosion problem. One solution to this problem is dependence-based program slicing, whose use can effectively reduce verification time. It is…

Traditional process mining considers only one single case notion and discovers and analyzes models based on this. However, a single case notion is often not a realistic assumption in practice. Multiple case notions might interact and…

Alignments are a well-known process mining technique for reconciling system logs and normative process models. Evidence of certain behaviors in a real system may only be present in one representation - either a log or a model - but not in…

Recently introduced Petri net-based formalisms advocate the importance of proper representation and management of case objects as well as their co-evolution. In this work we build on top of one of such formalisms and introduce the notion of…
