Abstract

Process monitoring and conformance checking analyze process events describing process executions. However, such events are not always available or in a form suitable for these analysis tasks, for example for manual processes and (semi-)automated processes whose executions are not controlled by a Process-Aware Information System. To bridge this gap, we propose to leverage Internet of Things (IoT) technologies for sensing low-level events and abstracting them into high-level process events to enable process monitoring and conformance checking. We propose an event-centric metamodel for monitoring and conformance checking systems that is agnostic with respect to process characteristics such as level of automation, system support, and modeling paradigm. We demonstrate the applicability of the metamodel by instantiating it for processes represented by different modeling paradigms.
