Evaluation of the Practical Relevance of Business Process Compliance Checking Approaches

It’s been a while since the last post on this platform. I always planned to continue publishing highly interesting and educative content, but priorities changed over time. However, I would like to provide you with a short update on my post from September 2011 about my thesis on automatic process compliance checking.

Part of my thesis was presented at the „Multikonferenz der Wirtschaftsinformatik in Braunschweig 2012“. Our publication focuses on the research method (based on the technology acceptance model and focus group interviews) explored in my thesis, its usefulness for the evaluation of research artifacts within companies and challenges of applying it. Having a sound method to evaluate artifacts in practice is very important from my perspective. In the area of process compliance checking, many potential solutions have been conceptualized as artifacts by the research community. However, practical evaluation of these artifacts is almost non-existent. Evaluating them can facilitate further refinement of underlying concepts and help researchers to focus on aspects of a research problem with high practical relevance.

If you like to know more about the topic, you can access the conference proceedings with our publication from the conference website: http://mkwi2012.de/

In addition, I love to discuss interesting aspects of this and related process compliance checking topics with you.
