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 sixth edition, 22 papers were submitted and 16 papers were accepted for publication in the pre-symposium volume. According to the format of a symposium, the discussion during the event is considered a valuable element that can help to improve the quality of the results proposed or the approach in presenting results. For this reason, authors of accepted papers will be invited to submit extended versions of their articles to a post-symposium volume of Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing, scheduled in 2018.
Our thanks go to the authors who submitted to the conference, to the board of reviewers that made a deep work, and to those who participated in the organization or in the promotion of this event.
We are very grateful to the University of Neuchatel, the Università degli Studi di Milano, the University of Twente, and the IFIP, for supporting this event.
