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 - 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.

Submissions aim at covering theoretical issues related to process representation,
discovery and analysis, or provide practical and operational experiences in process
discovery and analysis. In this sixth edition, 15 papers were submitted and 8 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 2019.

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 Seville, the Università degli Studi di Milano, the
University of Twente, and the IFIP, for supporting this event.

RELATING EVENT DATA AND PROCESS MODELS:
THE ADVENT OF CONFORMANCE CHECKING

Conformance checking is one of the fundamental dimensions of
process mining. It is acknowledged by the process mining
community that the most important challenge to overcome in the
area is the problem of relating event data and process models.
Alignments are meant to address exactly this challenge. However,
alignments are very hard to compute in some cases, which
prevents them to be fully adopted in practice. In this keynote I will provide an overview of the
techniques developed in my group, or in collaboration with the other groups, about recent
algorithms for solving different instantiations of the alignment problem.
