Agile Development with Software Process Mining
P. 70–74.
Modern companies continue investing more and more in the creation, maintenance and change of software systems, but the proper specification and design of such systems continues to be a challenge. The majority of current approaches either ignore real user and system runtime behavior or consider it only informally. This leads to a rather prescriptive top-down approach to software development. In this paper, we propose a bottom-up approach, which takes event logs (e.g., trace data) of a software system for the analysis of the user and system runtime behavior and for improving the software. We use well-established methods from the area of process mining for this analysis. Moreover, we suggest embedding process mining into the agile development lifecycle. The goal of this position paper is to motivate the need for foundational research in the area of software process mining (applying process mining to software analysis) by showing the relevance and listing open challenges. Our proposal is based on our experiences with analyzing a big productive touristic system. This system was developed using agile methods and process mining could be effectively integrated into the development lifecycle.

Mobile robots are increasingly used to automate repetitive and labor-intensive tasks in environments such as hospitals, warehouses, offices, and manufacturing facilities. When working together, multiple robots can achieve greater efficiency by sharing workloads and coordinating complex tasks, which enables faster completion of large-scale operations. Managing such teams of robots, however, requires an intuitive system for ...

This paper proposes a method to visualize models of acyclic processes based on merging DirectlyFollows Graphs (DFG) and Sankey diagrams. DFG is a popular graphical model to visualize discrete process models, while Sankey diagrams are used to represent flows of any kind. Our approach, based on flow diagrams, allows us to highlight individual cases or ...

Process mining is a field of computer science that deals with the discovery and analysis of process models based on automatically generated event logs. Currently, many companies are using this technology to optimize and improve their business processes. However, a discovered process model may be too detailed, sophisticated, and difficult for experts to understand. In ...

The paper addresses one of the most controversial issues concerning the quality of computer programs: the licensor's liability for the quality of licensed software and the developer's liability for the quality of custom-developed software. The paper examines the existing terms used by licensors to limit such liability and their validity in case law. In addition, ...

Trading systems are software platforms that support the exchange of securities (e.g., company shares) between participants. In this paper, we present a method to search for deviations in trading systems by checking conformance between colored Petri nets and event logs. Colored Petri nets (CPNs) are an extension of Petri nets, a formalism for modeling of ...

Existing process mining methods allow to investigate processes in different domains. Besides mandatory event attributes like as identifier, activity, and timestamp, additional event attributes can be present in data sources. The analysing dynamics of changing the values of additional attributes allows to get important information on the system. The applications must be developed by programmers ...

Enterprises often provide their services via a family of applications based on various platforms.
Applications in such a family can behave differently. Their development processes can differ as well. Moreover, modern development processes are often complex and sometimes vague. This can lead to bugs, defects, and unwanted discrepancies in applications. In this paper, we show that ...

Software development is critically dependent on a number of factors. These factors include techno-logical and anthropic-oriented ones. Software production is a multiple party process; it includes customer and developer parties. Due to different expectations and goals of each side, the human factors become mission-critical. Misconceptions in the expectations of each side may lead to misbalanced ...

A process model discovered from an event log of a multi-agent system often does not fully cover certain viewpoints of its architecture. We consider those concerned with the structure of a model explicitly reflecting agent behavior and interactions. The direct discovery from an event log of a multi-agent system may result in an unclear model ...
