Quick Abstract

This paper presents an AI-augmented framework for automated and intelligent process monitoring, addressing the inefficiencies of manual progress reporting in Process Management Systems (PMS), which leads to potential inaccuracies and consumes valuable user time. Our research proposes a novel solution that bridges users’ workspaces and PMS, enabling automatic progress reporting based on users’ actions within their preferred tools. The core innovation of our framework pMage lies in employing Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques to analyze and interpret sequences of user actions, translating them into accurate task progress updates, which significantly reduce manual input and enhance the accuracy of the reporting, thus making the integration of a PMS smoother and more effective. We demonstrate our framework’s applicability through a case study that uses pMage to monitor a brake system manufacturing process with our prototype. As a smart interface, pMage provides a no-code solution to connect a wide range of user applications to various PMS via their respective APIs. This versatility ensures broad applicability across different organizational contexts and toolsets. Our AI-augmented framework offers a more reliable, efficient, and user-friendly approach than existing monitoring methods.

Toward a Goal-Oriented Methodology for Artifact-Centric Process Modeling

Topic: Business Process Management and Engineering

Authors: Razan Abualsaud , Hanh Tran , Ileana Ober and Minh Khoi Nguyen

Affiliation: Institut de Recherche en Informatique de Toulouse, Toulouse, France

Digital Object Identifier: 10.5220/0011989900003464

Proceedings of ENASE 2023, ISBN: 978-989-758-647-7

Quick Abstract

Process management systems aim to enable a flexible yet systematic control of the execution of a process on the basis of its model. Therefore, a process model should encompass all necessary information for achieving the monitoring goals on the operational process. Up to this time, the research in process modeling has tended to focus on developing process modeling languages to represent process models. However, it lacks concrete guidelines for modelers to systematically define such models with the adequate details to enable an effective control of process execution. In this study, we address this lack by proposing a goal-oriented methodology for systematically modeling processes. Our methodology is dedicated to Artifact-Centric Process Modeling (ACPM). ACPM is an emerging approach that combines both data and process in a holistic manner, thus it’s more suitable to model complex unstructured processes. We illustrate the proposed methodology by applying it practically to model a portion of the Rational Unified Process (RUP) with the intention of enhancing traceability at execution time.

Process Mining to Discover the Global Process from its Fragments’ Executions

Topic: Business Process Management and Engineering

Authors: Minh Khoi Nguyen , Hanh Nhi Tran and Ileana Ober

Affiliation: Institut de Recherche en Informatique de Toulouse, Toulouse, France

Digital Object Identifier: 10.5220/0011044800003176

Proceedings of ENASE 2022, ISBN: 978-989-758-568-5

Quick Abstract

Process analysis to improve performance and detect anomalies is important for process management. However, such an analysis requires a global process model that is sometimes hard to get, especially for complex processes involving various teams. This is also an obstacle for BAPE (Bottom-up Artifact-centric Process Environment), an artifact-centric process management environment that allows splitting a process into several fragments which are separately modeled and enacted by different actors. Thus, the knowledge about the whole process is distributed over the involved teams and an overview on the complete process is missing. This paper presents the integration of process mining into BAPE in order to construct the overall process model from the execution data of process fragments.

Digital Object Identifier: 10.5220/0010298503530360

Proceedings of ICAART 2021, ISBN: 978-989-758-484-8

Quick Abstract

We propose a self-adaptive module, called LUDA (Learning Usefulness of DAta) to tackle the problem of cross-understanding in heterogeneous multiagent systems. In this work heterogeneity concerns the agents usage of information available under different reference frames. Our goal is to enable an agent to understand other agents information. To do this, we have built the LUDA module analysing redundant information to improve their accuracy. The closest domains addressing this problem are feature selection and data imputation. Our module is based on the relevant characteristics of these two domains, such as selecting a subset of relevant information and estimating the missing data value. Experiments are conducted using a large variety of synthetic datasets and a smart city real dataset to show the feasibility in a real scenario. The results show an accurate transformation of other information, an improvement of the information use and relevant computation time for agents decision making.

Quick Abstract

A connected and autonomous vehicle (CAV) needs to dynamically maintain a map of its environment. Even if the self-positioning and relative localization of static objects (roads, signs, poles, guard-rails, buildings, etc.) can be done with great precision thanks to the help of hd-maps, the detection of the dynamic objects on the scene (other vehicles, bicycles, pedestrians, animals, casual objects, etc.) must be made by the CAV itself based on the interpretation of its low-level sensors (radars, lidars, cameras, etc.). In addition to the need of representing those moving objects around it, the CAV (seen as an agent immersed in that traffic environment) must identify them and understand their behavior in order to anticipate their expected trajectories. The accuracy and completeness of this real-time map, necessary for safely planning its own maneuvers, can be improved by incorporating the information transmitted by other vehicles or entities within the surrounding neighborhood through V2X communications. The implementation of this cooperative perception can be seen as the last phase of perception fusion, after the in-vehicle signals (coming from its diverse sensors) have already been combined. In this position paper, we approach the problem of creating a coherent map of objects by selecting relevant information sent by the neighbor agents. This task requires correctly identifying the position of other communicant agents, based both on the own sensory perception and on the received information, and then correcting and completing the map of perceived objects with the communicated ones. For doing so, the precision and confidence on each information must be taken into account, as well as the trust and latency associated with each source. The broad objective is to model and simulate a fleet of vehicles with different levels of autonomy and cooperation, based on a multi-agent architecture, in order to study and improve road safety, traffic efficiency, and passenger comfort. In the paper, the problem is stated, a brief survey of the state-of-the-art on related topics is given, and the sketch of a solution is proposed.

Quick Abstract

The main purpose of Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CAVs) is to ensure optimal safety while improving user comfort. Many studies address the problem of CAVs to improve specific driving situations (intersection management, traffic flow management, etc.). In this paper, we propose both a comparison of these systems according to a set of criteria and an analysis to assist the development of CAVs fleets. This analysis shows that, among other, the ad-hoc algorithms use similar data (position, speed, etc.) and that the decisions for vehicles are based on cooperative processing for specific situations. The objective of this paper is to provide a guide for the design of CAVs fleet capable of managing all traffic situations.

Quick Abstract

Managing collaborations during the execution of a process is complex and challenging, especially for managing the collaboration inside a task having multiple instances performed by various actors. Existing process management approaches propose either a rigid control for conducting such collaborative tasks or no control at all. Aiming at a more flexible way to execute and control multi-instance tasks, we investigate a solution based on late-binding mechanism to allow actors choosing dynamically suitable strategies to perform their collaboration. First, we propose a process modeling language which focuses on describing multi-instance tasks and their dynamic instances at execution time. Second, this language is then used to represent patterns capturing reusable collaboration strategies. A prototype of a pattern-based Process Management System has been developed to demonstrate the possible flexible execution of collaborative tasks.

Quick Abstract

Smart cities aim at improving the quality of life of citizens. To do this, numerous ad-hoc sensors need to be deployed in a smart city to monitor the environmental state. Even if nowadays sensors are becoming more and more cheap their installation and maintenance costs increase rapidly with their number. This paper makes an inventory of the dimensions required for designing an intelligent system to support smart city initiatives. Then we propose a multi-agent based solution that uses a limited number of sensors to estimate at runtime missing information in smart cities using a limited number of sensors.

Proceedings of ICAART 2018, ISBN: 978-989-758-275-2

Quick Abstract

This paper shows an approach to control cooling devices for photovoltaic plants in order to optimize the energy production thanks to a limited reserve of harvested rainwater. This is a complex problem, considering the dynamic environment and the interdependence of the parameters, such as the weather data and the state of the photovoltaic panels. Our claim is to design a system composed of autonomous components cooperating in order to obtain an emergent efficient control.

Proceedings of ICAART 2017, ISBN: 978-989-758-219-6

Quick Abstract

This paper addresses the modeling and design of Systems of Systems (SoS). It presents and illustrates a new generic model to describe formally such systems. This model is used to propose a SoS architecting approach based on adaptive multi-agent systems. In this approach, each component system composing the SoS uses a local cooperative decision process in order to interact with other systems and to collectively give rise to a relevant overall function at the SoS level. The proposed model as well as the proposed approach are instantiated with a simulated unmanned aerial vehicle scenario and compared with another approach dealing with collaboration between systems in a SoS.
