The IEEE Task Force for Process Mining is happy to announce the 2020 edition of the Best Process Mining PhD Dissertation Award.
The award will be delivered during the 2nd International Conference on Process Mining (ICPM2020) in Padua, 5-8 October 2020.
Eligible candidates are those who officially obtained a PhD degree in 2017, 2018, or 2019, with a dissertation focused on process mining. We welcome theses that contributed to advance the state of the art in the foundations, engineering, and on-field application of process mining techniques. In this context, the term “process mining” has to be understood in a broad sense: using event data produced during the execution of business, software, or system processes, in order to extract fact-based knowledge and insights on such processes.
For a thesis to be eligible, we also require that thesis-related results have been published in at least one flagship conference/journal for process mining, such as for example ICPM, BPM, CAiSE, EDOC, Petri Nets, ICDM, Information Systems, IEEE TKDE, DKE, ACM TOSEM, IEEE TSC, IEEE TSE, ToPNoC, …
We remark that applications to other dissertation award initiatives are permitted.
