BUSINESS PROCESS BEHAVIOR CONFORMANCE CHECKING AND DIAGNOSTIC METHOD AND SYSTEM BASED ON THEORETICAL AND EMPIRICAL PROCESS MODELS BUILT USING PROBABILISTIC MODELS AND FUZZY LOGIC

摘要

The present invention generally relates to systems and methods for checking the conformance of a process behavior against a theoretical process model, and for further providing a detailed diagnostic regarding the process behavior's expectedness and frequency. The provision of this detailed diagnostic includes discovering the empirical models generated by the system's business processes, and matching the defined process model to its corresponding empirical model.
