process mining technologies assume event logs with an appropriate level of granularity, but many systems generate low-level event logs, resulting in complex processmodels. Event abstraction addresses this issue by transforming low-level event logs into abstracted event logs, enabling the derivation of business-level processmodels. However, practitioners often struggle to choose suitable event abstraction methods. This is primarily due to the lack of comparative studies that analyze the differences between methods and the insufficient information regarding the data and relevant process characteristics to be considered. This study conducts a comprehensive literature reviewon event abstraction to overcome these challenges. The review focuses on summarizing specific sub-problems in event abstraction, identifying types of data that can be utilized, and highlighting important process characteristics that should be considered. The insights and guidance provided by this review will be valuable to practitioners seeking to select and implement effective event abstraction techniques.

Event abstraction is a crucial step in applying process mining in real-world scenarios. However, practitioners often face challenges in selecting relevant research for their specific needs. To address this, we present a comprehensive framework for understanding event abstraction, comprising four key components: event abstraction sub-problems, consideration of process properties, data types for event abstraction, and various approaches to event abstraction. By systematically examining these components, practitioners can efficiently identify research that aligns with their requirements. Additionally, we analyze existing studies using this framework to provide practitioners with a clearer view of current research and suggest expanded applications of existing methods.

The Viable System model (VSM) provides a well-established framework to aid the design and diagnosis of organisations to survive and thrive in complex operating environments. However, the cognitive accessibility of the VSM presents a significant barrier to its application with non-expert stakeholders. In the face of such difficulties, VSM practitioners will often take steps to adapt the classic presentation of VSM to suit the needs of their particular operational context. We propose a set of constitutive rules, including an explicit epistemology, that can both account for the variety of VSM practice reported in the literature and also be used to guide practitioners in their application of the VSM and thus make rigorous use of VSM theory. The epistemology is expressed as a performative model, expressed as a hierarchical process model (HPM), of the practitioner's use of the VSM in an engagement. We use this model to describe, reflect upon, and learn about VSM practice by the cross-case analysis of three recent VSM interventions. The combination of variability in problem structuring and specificity to the VSM afforded by the constitutive rules and the performative epistemology in combination has provided insight into the social ontology of VSM practice and the boundaries of what should be considered acceptable practice from a competence perspective. Our approach is intended to encourage wider and better application of VSM theory in preparing organisations to maintain performance in uncertain futures. (C) 2020 The Authors.

In the literature, hierarchical dimensions for procedural processmodels have been widely investigated as they provide different ways to relate, organize and classify models. Such a categorization is based on the dimensions of inheritance, behavioral equivalence, and modularization and can be used to better understand and modify models as well as handle their complexity. Unfortunately, in the context of declarative processmodels hierarchical dimensions have been sparsely investigated. This paper addresses such a research gap. More specifically, we study a formal semantics for the dimensions above and show how they naturally induce hierarchies on a declarative process language based on declare.
