PRISM: PRocess-aware Information Systems Management

Mission

We investigate foundational, methodological, and experimental aspects of process-aware information systems, with emphasis on the integration of business process and data management. We combine diverse areas in computer science (from AI, logics and formal methods to data science and semantic technologies) to provide IT support to business and technical experts along the entire process lifecycle, and to enrich data with dynamics.

Relevance

This group is relevant for:

  1. research: it focuses on a timely and challenging area, with a quite unique mix of skills and balance of theory and practice,
  2. teaching: it covers key foundational and engineering competencies that should be acquired by students, and
  3. third mission: big companies and SMEs are increasingly recognizing the importance of process management and process-oriented analysis of their data.
