| - | This course introduces basic concepts for modelling and implementing business processes using contemporary information technologies. We start by the introduction of Petri nets. Because of their simple, yet rigorously mathematical formulation, Petri nets are very suitable to unambiguously define typical workflow patterns, and to reason about important notions such as soundness and completeness of workflows. Then we will move our attention to more practical workflow modelling languages. We will study the academic language YAWL (Yet Another Workflow Language) and the industrial standard BPMN 2.0 (Business Process Model and Notation) in detail, and touch the main characteristics of BPeL (Business Process Execution Language) and EPCs (Event-driven Process Chains). The second part of the course then goes into the analysis, simulation, verification, and induction (process mining) of workflow models. | + | Data Mining aims at finding useful regularities in large structured and unstructured data sets. The goal of this course is to get a fundamental understanding of popular data mining techniques strengths and limitations, as well as their associated computational complexity issues. It will also identify industry branches which most benefit from Data Mining such as health care and e-commerce. The course will focus on business solutions |
| - | + | and results by presenting case studies using real (public domain) data. The students will use recent Data Mining software. | |
| - | In the exercises the YAWL system will be used to enact YAWL models, and the free software BonitaSoft for BPMN modeling and enactment. Furthermore, during the course a "proof of technology" and a case study will be offered by affiliated partner IBM at their premises in Evere (Next to the NATO complex). | + | |
