将协作流程预测转化为对象中心的多实体关系建模,显式表达参与方与任务间的动态交互。
A Framework for Object-Centric Predictive Monitoring of Collaborative Processes

- 通过语义映射将协作事件日志转为符合OCEL 2.0标准的对象中心表示
- 在四个公开数据集上验证了14项重构预测任务,性能优于传统单案例方法
- 适合研究跨组织协作、需关注对象间依赖关系的流程监控场景
协作性跨组织流程的预测过程监控(PPM)需要对参与者、消息、本地执行和全局协作案例等多重互依实体进行推理。现有方法虽扩展事件日志引入协作属性,但仍保持单案例视角,使结构隐含。对象中心流程挖掘(OCPM)通过将这些实体作为第一类对象并显式建模关系与多种案例概念提供替代方案。本研究通过三项贡献连接协作型PPM与OCPM:(i) 提出从扩展协作事件日志到符合OCED规范的对象中心表示的正式语义映射,并以OCEL 2.0序列化;(ii) 将协作预测任务重新表述为对象中心预测任务;(iii) 实现可复现的转换器与预测流水线。我们在四个公开协作事件日志及基于BPI Challenge 2013事故管理日志衍生的第五个数据集上评估该框架,使用五种预测策略(表格式、序列化、图原生编码)执行14项重构任务。结果表明,该表示显式刻画协作结构,便于基于对象关系定义超出传统案例中心分类体系的预测目标,代价是增加关系复杂度并依赖对象中心工具链。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Predictive Process Monitoring (PPM) of collaborative, inter-organizational processes requires reasoning over multiple interdependent entities, including participants, messages, local executions, and the global collaboration case. Existing approaches extend traditional event logs with collaboration attributes but retain a single-case perspective, leaving much of this structure implicit. Object-centric process mining (OCPM) provides an alternative by representing these entities as first-class objects with explicit relations and multiple notions of case. This study connects collaborative PPM and OCPM through three contributions: (i) a formal semantic mapping from extended collaborative event logs to an OCED-conformant object-centric representation, serialized in OCEL 2.0; (ii) a reformulation of collaborative prediction tasks as object-centric prediction tasks; and (iii) a reproducible converter and prediction pipeline implementing the proposed mapping. We evaluate the framework on four public collaborative event logs and a fifth derived from the BPI Challenge 2013 incident-management log by executing the fourteen reformulated tasks using five predictive strategies across tabular, sequential, and graph-native encodings. We further discuss the benefits, limitations, and threats to the approach's validity. The representation makes collaboration structure explicit and makes it natural to state prediction targets based on object relations that fall outside the case-centric taxonomy, at the cost of increased relational complexity and dependence on object-centric tooling.
