Abstract

Conformance Checking is a problem to detect and describe the differences between a given process model representing the expected behaviour of a business process and an event log recording its actual execution by the Process-aware Information System (PAIS). However, such existing conformance checking techniques are offline and mainly applied for the completely executed process instances, which cannot provide the real-time conformance-oriented process monitoring for an on-going process instance. Therefore, in this paper, we propose three approaches for online conformance prediction by constructing a classification model automatically based on the historical event log and the existing reference process model. By utilizing Recurrent Neural Networks, these approaches can capture the features that have a decisive effect on the conformance for an executed case to build a prediction model and then use this model to predict the conformance of a running case. The experimental results on two real datasets show that our approaches outperform the state-of-the-art ones in terms of prediction accuracy and time performance.
