Call for papers

The 1st International Workshop on “Quantitative Aspects of Process Mining” (QAPM’2022), held in conjunction with CAiSE’2022
6-7 June 2022, Leuven, Belgium
Submission Deadline: March 8th 2022

Workshop focus

Over the past decades, there have been many developments of new techniques in the field of process mining, ranging from process discovery algorithms, conformance checking metrics, to predictive process monitoring models. As the field matures, there is a clear need to compare and evaluate different approaches, and examine how they react to certain phenomena, like noise or exceptional behaviour.

Despite their relevance, setting up large scale experiments is not straightforward, and the efforts to do so have been limited. The challenges faced by researchers are technical, i.e., which tooling can support large quantitative experiments in a feasible manner, as well as methodological, i.e., what are the best practises with respect to experimental design and statistical rigour.

The purpose of this workshop, Quantitative Aspects of Process Mining, is to provide a forum that specifically welcomes process mining contributions including quantitative process mining experiments. This purpose is multi-faceted: on the one hand is the relevance of the analyses’ results in itself, while on the other hand is the significance of methodological and technical best practises.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Automated discovery of process models
Conformance Analysis
Decision Mining for Processes
Multi-perspective process mining
Predictive Process Monitoring
Prescriptive Process Monitoring
Process Simulation
Online Process Mining
Scalable Process Mining
Experimental Set Up for process mining
Process Mining Methodologies
Tools for Reproducible Process Mining

Submission Instructions

We welcome two types of submissions:
Regular papers (12 pages), which can describe original research, case studies or challenges related to the aforementioned topics.
Demo papers (6 pages), which showcase innovative tools or technical setups that support quantitative experiments in process mining or related functionalities. Demo papers should include a link to a ​video that screencasts and demonstrates the tool, preferably including voice, which must not be longer than 4 minutes.

Submissions must use the Springer LNCS/LNBIP ​format and cannot exceed 12 pages. Only papers in English will be considered and must present original research contributions not concurrently submitted elsewhere. Papers must be submitted electronically via the CAiSE EasyChair portal.
