In the domain of process mining the evaluation of models (i.e., “How can we measure the quality of a mined process model?”) is still subject to ongoing research. Because the types of models used in process mining are typically on a higher level of abstraction (they, for example, allow to capture concurrency), the problem of model evaluation is challenging. In this paper, we elaborate on the pro...

The software industry is an important economic activity in industrial countries. Nowadays the investment in this field measured in millions of dollars, the IT organizations varies in their size and role. An area of concern to IT organizations is implementing and adopting Software Process Improvement (SPI) models. For many years, researchers have developed several SPI model, most of which like C...

Optical methods play an important role in process analytical technologies (PAT). Four examples of optical process and quality sensing (OPQS) are presented, which are based on three important experimental techniques: NIR absorption, luminescence quenching, and, as novel method, photon density wave (PDW) spectroscopy. Addressed is the evaluation of four process and quality parameters eminent in t...

Software testing should play a major role in the de nition and improvement of software development processes, because testing is the most precise, most easily measured and controlled part of the software lifecycle. However, unless testing goals are clearly related to true measurements of software quality, the testing may appear to improve, but the software will not. Much of current testing theo...

The Engineering and Fabrication Branch of the Technical Services Department provides a wide range of engineering, design, and fabrication services for the Applied Physics Laboratory. The Branch routinely practices a technique known as "statistical process control" in the design, fabrication, testing, calibration, and quality control phases of its work to ensure the quality of designed and fabri...

In the context of business process intelligence, along with the need to extract a process model from a log, there is also the need to measure the quality of the extracted process model. Hence, process model quality notions and metrics are required. We present a systematic approach for developing quality metrics for block structured process models, which offer less expressive power than Petri-ne...

Multivariate Process Capability Indices (MPCI) show how well a manufacturing process can meet specifica-tion limits when quality characteristics enclose a relative correlation. Process capability is an important and commonly used metric for assessing and improving the quality of a production process. When quality charac-teristics of a product are correlated then an attractive comes close to MPC...

Source-based writing is a common but difficult task in history and philosophy. Students are usually taught how to write good text language classes. However, it also important address discipline-specificity writing, topic likely be by content teachers. In order design discipline-specific instruction, research needs identify which reading activities during the source-based process affect students...
