The torrents of event data generated by today’s systems are an important enabler for process mining. However, at the same time, the size and variability of the resulting event logs are challenging for today’s process mining techniques. This paper focuses on “conformance checking in the large” and presents a novel decomposition technique that partitions larger processes into sets of subprocesses...

Quantitative conformance testing of cyber-physical system (CPS) exploits time series of measurements, such as temperature or energy, for validating the correctness of deployed systems. This paper presents the foundations of segmented state space traversal in the setting of quantitative conformance testing of a CPS. It is demonstrated how this strategy together with domain-specific adaptations r...

Conformance checking, a method of process mining, is commonly used to assess how well a set of historic log traces fits a given process model, or vice versa. Here we explore online conformance checking, i.e., to check conformance on logs while they are written. This can be useful for near-realtime detection of errors and deviations from the desired path. While the online aspect leads to some ch...

This paper examines the issue of developing semantics for agent communication languages. In particular, it considers the problem of giving a verifiable semantics for such languages — a semantics where conformance (or otherwise) to the semantics could be determined by an independent observer. These problems are precisely defined in an abstract formal framework. Using this framework, a number of ...

This paper discusses a design and an implementation of a MIB tester, a conformance test tool of Management Information Base (MIB) for TMN. A remote test method is used as a practical test configuration. We classify test purposes into three; basic interconnection test, capability test and behaviour test. Test items for the capability test are defined according to Managed Object Conformance State...

The conformance of semantic technologies has to be systematically evaluated to measure and verify the real adherence of these technologies to the Semantic Web standards. Current evaluations of semantic technology conformance are not exhaustive enough and do not directly cover user requirements and use scenarios, which raises the need for a simple, extensible and parameterizable method to genera...

Interoperability among telecommunications systems, possibly by different vendors, is essential for both the development of many telecommunications networks, and today's civilization development. Interoperability testing is very costly, as it has a complexity of (n**2) for n systems, and somewhat informal. In this paper, we develop a 'Conformance Testing (CT)'-based formal technique to determine...

Conformance monitoring supports UTM safety by observing if unmanned aircraft (UA) are adhering to declared operational intent. As a supporting system, robust cooperative tracking is critical. Nevertheless, systems for UAS traffic management (UTM) in an early stage and under-standardized, existing literature hardly addresses the problem. To bridge this gap, study aims probabilistically evaluate ...
