Here are the slides of my ECMS 2023 keynote Towards More Realistic Simulation Models Using Object-Centric Process Mining .
Here are the slides explaining the OCEL 2.0 Standard presented at ICPM 2023. Object-centric event logs (OCELs) form the basis for object-centric process mining (OCPM). OCEL 2.0 forms the new, more expressive standard allowing for more extensive process analyses while remaining in an easily exchangeable format. Visit www.ocel-standard.org two download the standard and example data sets.

Not so new after all ... . Reflections on workflow management systems in the 1990-ties. In 1995, the CeBIT in Hannover was the biggest IT fair in the world, with 755.000 visitors. Already in 1995, workflow management technology was offered by many vendors. This is illustrated by the article CeBIT-Rundgang/Vom Modellierungs-Tool bis zur komplexen Anwendung Workflow: Dokumente gleiten elektronisch von Hand zu Hand in Computerwoche of March 1995. The article (in German) describes the vendors offering workflow management systems at the CeBIT in 1995.This years International Conference on Business Process Management (BPM 2024) will take place in beautiful Krakow.
