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.
