Definitions

Predictive monitoring of business processes aims at predicting the future of an ongoing (uncomplete) process execution. Predictions related to the future of an ongoing process execution can pertain to numeric measures of interest (e.g., the completion time), to categorical outcomes (e.g., whether a given predicate will be fulfilled or violated), or to the sequence of future activities (and related payloads).

Overview

Predictive monitoring of business processes aims at providing predictions about the future of an ongoing (incomplete) process execution. The entry provides an overview of predictive process monitoring by introducing the dimensions that typically characterize existing approaches in the field, as well as using them to classify existing state-of-the-art approaches.

Introduction

Process mining deals with the analysis of business processes based on their behavior, observed and...
