Abstract

In this paper we propose a novel approach to process alignment which leverages on contextual information captured by way of responsibilities. On the one hand, responsibilities may justify deviations. In these cases, we consider deviations as correct behaviors rather than errors. On the other hand, responsibilities can either be met or neglected in the execution trace. Thus, we prefer alignments where neglected responsibilities are minimized.

The paper proposes a formal framework for responsibilities in a process model, including the definition of cost functions to determine optimal alignments. It also outlines a branch-and-bound algorithm for their computation.
