The application of ontologies to Business Process Management has been introduced to improve the level of automation in the execution of processes. Ontologies aid in the description of the process model as well as in their exchanged data. This paper presents an ontological model for workflow logs, namely oXPDL+. The model builds upon a process interchange ontology based on the standardised XML P...

Resource allocation has been recognised as an important topic for business process execution. In this paper, we focus on planning resources for a massive number of process instances to meet the process requirements and cater for rational utilisation of resources before execution. After a motivating example, we present a model for planning resources for process instances. Then we design a set of...

This report describes key aspects of a code library that we developed for the purpose of state propagation for business process monitoring on different levels of abstraction. The library supports the propagation of execution states of process instances based on the Business Process Execution Language (BPEL) to process models specified in the “Chevron” language. The Chevron language is an abstra...

The drastic increase of data quantity often brings the severe decrease quality, such as incorrect label annotations. It poses a great challenge for robustly training Deep Neural Networks (DNNs). Existing learning methods with noise either employ ad-hoc heuristics or restrict to specific assumptions. However, more general situations, instance-dependent noise, have not been fully explored, scarce...

in instance-based learning, a training set is given to a classifier for classifying new instances. in practice, not all information in the training set is useful for classifiers. therefore, it is convenient to discard irrelevant instances from the training set. this process is known as instance reduction, which is an important task for classifiers since through this process the time for classif...

Abstract Can conjunctive propositions be identical without their conjuncts being identical? universally quantified instances On a common conception of propositions, on which they inherit the logical structure sentences express them, answer is negative both times. Here, it will shown that such to questions inconsistent, assuming standard type-theoretic formalization theorizing about propositions...

In this paper we propose an asymmetric semantic similarity among instances within an ontology. We aim to define a measurement of semantic similarity that exploit as much as possible the knowledge stored in the ontology taking into account different hints hidden in the ontology definition. The proposed similarity measurement considers different existing similarities, which we have combined and e...
