A bit short notice, but I’m doing a webinar this afternoon at 2pm (Eastern) on process intelligence through process mining and analytics, along with Keith Swenson of Fujitsu, and you can sign up here. Fujitsu is sponsoring the webinar, as well as the white paper that I have written to go into the topic in … Continue reading “Enabling Process Intelligence Through Process Mining & Analytics”
In the first of two papers in the final session of the conference, Josep Carmona of Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya presented on process mining calculation strategies. The theory of regions shows how to derive a Petri net representation of a process model from the process log, which shows the transition between states, but it’s very … Continue reading “Divide-and-Conquer Strategies for Process Mining #BPM2009”
Chen Li of University of Twente gave the last presentation of the conference on process variant mining. We heard yesterday in the tutorial on flexibility about process variants; one issue with process variants is that there needs to be some way to identify which of the variants are important enough to update the original process … Continue reading “Discovering Reference Models by Mining Process Variants Using a Heuristic Approach #BPM2009”
It’s the last day of the main BPM2023 conference in Utrecht; tomorrow is the Industry Day where I will be speaking on a panel (although I would really like to talk to next year’s organizers about having a concurrent industry track rather than a separate day after many of the researchers and academics have departed). … Continue reading “BPM2023 Day 3 Keynote: Data Meets Process”
The second day of the main conference kicked off with a keynote by Marta Kwiatkowska, Professor of Computer Science at Oxford, on AI and machine learning in BPM. She started with some background on AI and deep learning, and linked this to automated process model discovery (process mining), simulation, what-if analysis, predictions and automated decisions. … Continue reading “BPM2023 Day 2 Keynote: AI in Processes”
11 years ago, Marlon Dumas from Tartu University chaired the BPM2012 conference in Tallinn, Estonia, which I was able to attend. We had met at a previous conference (maybe Milan?), then since that time I’ve worked with his company Apromore to create a white paper on process mining. Today, he gave a keynote at the … Continue reading “BPM2023 Utrecht Workshop on Business Process Optimization”
I first met Signavio CEO Gero Decker in 2008, when he was a researcher at Hasso Platner Institut and emailed me about promoting their BPMN poster — a push to have BPMN (then version 1.1) recognized as a standard for process modeling. I attended the academic BPM conference in Milan that year but Gero wasn’t … Continue reading “SAP acquiring Signavio into Business Process Intelligence unit”
I’ve been writing some guest posts over on the Trisotech blog, but haven’t mentioned them here for a while. Here’s a recap of what I’ve posted over there the past few months: In May, I wrote about designing loosely-coupled processes to reduce fragility. I had previously written about Conway’s Law and the problems of functional … Continue reading “My writing on the Trisotech blog: better analysis and design of processes”
On Thursday, I’m presenting a webinar on process intelligence with Signavio. Here’s the description: How do you get a handle on your company’s disrupted processes? How do you get real-time visibility into your organization’s strengths and weaknesses? How do you confidently chart a path to the future? The key is process intelligence: seeing your processes … Continue reading “It’s webinar week! Check out my process intelligence webinar with @Signavio on Thursday”
I started my day early to see Dr.Steffen Schenk, Celonis Head of Product Management, talk about the Celonis Action Engine and process automation. In short, they are seeing that because they integrate directly with core systems (especially ERP systems, that have their own processes built in), they can do things that RPA and BPM systems … Continue reading “CelosphereLive 2020 — Day 3: Process AI for automation”
