The third edition of the International Symposium on Data-driven Process Discovery and Analysis (SIMPDA 2013) conceived to offer a forum where researchers from different communities and the industry can share their insight in this hot new field. With the increasing automation of business processes, growing amounts of process data become available. This opens new research opportunities for business process data analysis, mining and modeling. The aim of the IFIP 2.6 - 2.12 International Symposium on Data-Driven Process Discovery and Analysis is to offer a forum where researchers from different communities and the industry can share their insight in this hot new field. This year the symposium will be inserted among the VLDB 2013 workshops and will feature a number of presentations on recent research results and competitive PhD seminar. All this in the charming setting of Riva del Garda at the north-western corner of Lake Garda, at the southern edge of the Italian Alps, near the Dolomites.
Submissions aim at covering theoretical issues related to process representation, discovery and analysis or provide practical and operational experiences in process discovery and analysis. Language for papers and presentations is English. In this third edition, 9 papers were submitted that were reviewed by a minimum of two reviewers; according to the format of a symposium the discussion during the event is considered a valuable element that can help to improve a work presented and the approach in presenting results. For this reason authors of accepted papers will be invited to submit extended articles a post-symposium volume of LNBIP (Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing), scheduled in 2014.
Our thanks go to the authors who submitted to the conference, to the board of reviewers that made a great work in the review process and in promoting this new event, and to all those who participate in the organization of the events.
We are very grateful to Università degli Studi di Milano, IFIP for their financial support, and to the University of Fribourg, the University of Freiburg, and ASSERT4SOA project. * Research Papers Sequential Approaches for Predicting Business Process Outcome and Process Failure Warning Mai Le, Detlef Nauck, Bogdan Gabrys Graph-Based Business Process Model Refactoring María Fernández-Ropero, Ricardo Pérez-Castillo and Mario Piattini Studies on the Discovery of Declarative Control Flows from Errorprone Data Claudio Di Ciccio, Massimo Mecella Development of a knowledge base for enabling non-expert users to apply data mining algorithms Roberto Espinosa, Diego García-Saiz, Marta Zorrilla, Jose Jacobo Zubcoff, Jose-Norberto Mazón Using Semantic Lifting for improving Process Mining: a Data Loss Prevention System case study Antonia Azzini, Chiara Braghin, Ernesto Damiani, Francesco Zavatarelli Challenges of Applying Adaptive Processes to Enable Variability in Sustainability Data Collection Gregor Grambow, Nicolas Mundbrod, Vivian Steller, Manfred Reichert Enhancing the Case Handling Paradigm to Support Object-aware Processes Carolina Ming Chiao, Vera Künzle, Manfred Reichert Knowledge and Business Intelligence Technologies in CrossEnterprise Environments for Italian Advanced Mechanical Industry Project Presentation Francesco Arigliano, Antonia Azzini, Chiara Braghin, Antonio Caforio, Paolo Ceravolo, Ernesto Damiani, Vincenzo Savarino, Claudia Vicari, Francesco Zavatarelli On Process Rewriting for Business Process Security Rafael Accorsi
