Title: “Software Package Development Processes and R”
Abstract:
This presentation will outline major elements of a good software package development process, illustrated primarily with the standard package development process used with R. R is an object-oriented programming language for statistics and an open-source alternative to S-Plus. The Comprehensive R Archive Network (CRAN) repository of contributed packages has grown roughly exponentially since its founding thirteen years ago, with over 2400 contributed packages available as of June 2010. CRAN and the standard package development process have helped make R the language of choice for an increasing portion of people involved in new statistical algorithm development. Continue Reading »

Business Process Mining on August 18, 2010
Presented by: Hasnain Jaffery, EXCIMP B.V.

ABSTRACT
Process Mining is the method of distilling a structured process description from a set of real-time execution data. The real executions data is captured in an event-log. The event-log data is the basis for process mining. Thus, process mining can only yield to meaningful results if the log files contain sufficient information and if the events are logged properly. Only events captured in the log are available for process mining. If an event is not logged, it will not be part the mined process model. Logging is by all means crucial.
