“…As the minimum values show, it was also possible to identify cases of low compliance. We are not able to directly compare our results with the approach proposed in [2]. This is mainly due to the inherent complexity of the state space exploration, which is exponential in the general case.…”

“…Similar relations, but not exactly those of behavioural profiles, are used in [8] to characterise a process as a pre-processing step for deriving a model. As mentioned before, the work in [2,3] proposes a fitness measure for process mining, while, based thereon, adaptations are discussed in [6]. In this paper, we demonstrated that our approach benefited from the efficient calculation of the behavioural profiles from free-choice process models as defined in [7].…”

Abstract. Process compliance measurement is getting increasing attention in companies due to stricter legal requirements and market pressure for operational excellence. On the other hand, the metrics to quantify process compliance have only been defined recently. A major criticism points to the fact that existing measures appear to be unintuitive. In this paper, we trace back this problem to a more foundational question: which notion of behavioural equivalence is appropriate for discussing compliance? We present a quantification approach based on behavioural profiles, which is a process abstraction mechanism. Behavioural profiles can be regarded as weaker than existing equivalence notions like trace equivalence, and they can be calculated efficiently. As a validation, we present a respective implementation that measures compliance of logs against a normative process model. This implementation is being evaluated in a case study with an international service provider.
