[ProM-developers] Serialization

JBuijs — Tue, 12 Apr 2011 03:24:37 -0400

Dear all,

From now, it is possible to switch off serialization in the ProM ini file. Just add the following lines:

#
# Indicate whether or not ProM should serialize the
# workspace. If switched off, the last serialized
# workspace will be loaded on each start
DO_SERIALIZATION = false

If serialization is switched off, the last serialized workspace will be loaded on every start. This is helpful for debugging purposes.

Please keep in mind that it is necessary to test your work with serialization switched on.

Cheers,
Boudewijn

[ProM-developers] Changes to XAttribute 'equals(object )' method in OpenXES

JBuijs — Thu, 14 Apr 2011 02:44:13 -0400

Yesterday, Danny van Heumen send around the following message on the ProM Developers mailing list:

Dear all,

As of today, the equality of an XAttribute and its specializations (XAttributeLiteral, XAttributeBoolean, XAttributeDiscrete, XAttributeContinuous and XAttributeTimestamp) have been modified. The new implementation is more in line with what one would expect of this method: two attributes are considered equivalent if key, value type and value all are equivalent in both attributes.

Previously, when we would compare two XAttribute instances, it would only test whether or not the key of both instances is equal. The value type and value of the attribute would be ignored.
As of now, when we compare two XAttribute instances, key, value type and value have to all be equivalent in order for two XAttribute instances to be considered equal.

Note that given the large amount of ProM packages already present and the nature of the 'equals(...)' method, i.e. 'equals(...)' may also be used (under the hood) by algorithms and data structures, we cannot easily test if this change breaks any of the existing ProM packages. So, if anyone notices a sudden breakage it might be related to this change, although there should only be such a problem if your packages uses XAttribute's 'equals(...)' method for comparing one XAttribute to another.

If the old behavior is required, you can trivially achieve this with the XAttribute's 'getKey()' method which returns the key and those keys can then be compared.

Best regards,

Danny

[ProM-developers] Test Cases for ProM

JBuijs — Thu, 07 Apr 2011 05:34:40 -0400

Last Monday Dirk Fahland presented a way to test your ProM plug-ins. He send around the following mail to the ProM developers list:

I briefly presented how I have set up test cases
for my ProM plugins. I just finished Tutorial in the ProM wiki describing what
you have to do, to use test cases for your own plugins. You can find the
tutorial at

https://svn.win.tue.nl/trac/prom/wiki/TestCases

I am aware that we are not providing you a comfortable
push button technology. Things are rough at the moment, and we need your
feedback to make things more accessible. Please read the tutorial and start
writing your own tests. Whenever you have questions or run into problems,
please approach me.

[ProM-developers] Classifiers

JBuijs — Mon, 04 Apr 2011 03:26:40 -0400

This morning Eric send the following message to the ProM Developers mailing list:

Dear all,

This weekend, we noticed that some plug-ins ‘massage’ the result of classifier to obtain the result from a different classifier. For example, if the result of the concept name classifier would be “X”, then “X+complete” would be a valid result from the standard classifier. *Please do not do this*. If you need to know the results of some classifier on some event, run the classifier on the event, and do not start guessing around with the results of other classifiers. For example, if the result of the standard classifier is “X”, then *do not assume* that “X”is of the form “Y+Z” and do not start looking for the Y –part to obtain the result of the name classifier. First of all, we just might change the “+” into some other string, second, we just might swap “Y+Z” to “Z+Y”, and third, Y itself may contain several instances of “+” which would result in strange results.

Please note that it is not hard to obtain the results from a classifier, as the class XLogInfoImpl has a number of classifiers predefined:
-   XLogInfoImpl.STANDARD_CLASSIFIER(event)
-   XLogInfoImpl.NAME_CLASSIFIER(event)
-   XLogInfoImpl.RESOURCE_CLASSIFIER(event)
-   XLogInfoImpl.LIFE_CYCLE_CLASSIFIER(event)

If you know that your plug-in relies on assumptions as mentioned above, please change your plug-in accordingly.

Finally, please note that at 12:30 we have another ProM lunch today. Dirk Fahland will introduce us to the way he has his plug-ins tested by the Hudson server.

Cheers,

Eric.

[ProM-developers] New version of ProM framework: Update build path!

JBuijs — Thu, 31 Mar 2011 07:48:42 -0400

Eric Verbeek just send this message on the ProM Developers mailing list:

Dear all,

I’ve just released a new version of the ProM framework, one
that contains functionality to export Petri nets, transitions system, …
(directed graphs, in general) to different output formats (eps, pdf, …). This
new functionality needs a number of new external jar files. Hence, if you
update your package, you will have to update your build path accordingly (in
the stdlib folder there will be some new jar files, please add them to the
build path).

Cheers,

Eric.

Update Joos: moved to correct category and removed 'announcement' status

[ProM-developers] Links

JBuijs — Tue, 01 Feb 2011 03:04:59 -0500

Eric Verbeek send the following message on the ProM Developers mailing list this morning:

Dear all,

As from now on, please use the new ProM 6 SVN repository, which is located at https://svn.win.tue.nl/repos/prom . As with the old repository, the new repository also comes with a trac site, which can be found at https://svn.win.tue.nl/trac/prom . Note, however, that there is still an issue with creating tickets on the new trac site. BCF still needs to solve this.

Furthermore, the new Hudson server (http://svishudson.win.tue.nl:8080) is now operational. This server checks the new repository for changes, and will perform builds whenever necessary. As mentioned yesterday, we now have two classes of packages: stable packages and non-stable packages. Whenever a change is detected in a non-stable package, a build will be performed on the package, and any errors will be communicated to the author of the change. Whenever a change is detected in a stable package, builds will be performed for the package and any downstream package (that is, any package that uses the package in its packagelib folder). Again, any errors will be communicated to the author of the change, and it’s the responsibility of this author to fix any problems (which includes problems in downstream packages). Note that we assume that stable package are free of errors themselves, hence, the error in a downstream package should be caused by the upstream change. If you think your non-stable package has become stable now, please let me know so we can change its status.

For the Hudson server to communicate the errors to the authors, it is important that you register your SVN account on the server. To do so, please go to the server, select the “Sign up” link in the upper right corner, provide your credentials, and select the “Sign up” button. Please provide the same username as you have in the SVN repository, and provide a valid e-mail address. Errors will be communicated by the server to the e-mail address provided, so this is kind of important.

Finally, let me know if you think you lack credentials anywhere in the repository, trac, or Hudson. Almost everything can be fixed, as long as we’re aware of it.

Cheers,

Eric.

[ProM-developers] Moving models into packages

JBuijs — Tue, 07 Dec 2010 09:08:35 -0500

Eric Verbeek just send this message to the ProM-Developers mailing list:

Dear all,

In the next few days, we will copy the various models (Petri nets, transition systems, fuzzy models, EPCs, …) into separate packages. While doing so, we will update the dependencies in the repositories. Nevertheless, there could be ‘ glitches’, please let us know when you detect such a glitch, so we can fit it.

After everything has been copied, we will start removing the corresponding sources from the models project. In this stage, you might have to add jar files of other packages into your packagelib folders, as the support for these models will have been removed from the models project.

Until further notice, please do not make changes to the models (or accept the fact that you might have to redo your changes, of course).

Kind regards,

Eric.

[ProM-developers] Conversion to mxml

JBuijs — Fri, 05 Nov 2010 08:51:36 -0400

On Friday 5-11-2010, 10:03 CET the following message was posted on the prom developers mailinglist:

Good Morning Doctors,

I am an italian student of Politecnico of Torino
(Management Engineering).

I need your help for a conversion of a file Access to a
log file for ProM 5.2.

First, let me explain why : I am doing a relation about
your software ProM and the ideas and purposes inside the software (why exists
and why you create it...) ; a main part of this relation, which is in fact a
short thesis, consists in an application of the software with a simple example
and a simple database: a comparison between results with proM and other way
results.

So i need the software for a statistical analysis to
prove the accuracy of your software.

I downloaded your proM import framework and i tried to
convert my file, but my knowledge of Java 'language' is very bad and i can't
solve errors.

To go on, i need that someone could convert this file for
me.

I ask you if it is possible to have a converted and
tested version of the file, please.

I leave the file attached to this mail, if you gently
could help me.

Best Wishes,

Niccolò Milano

[ProM-developers] Help for case studies for ProM

JBuijs — Wed, 03 Nov 2010 10:15:56 -0400

Vincenzo Madeo posted this message on the ProM developers mailing list on 3-11-2010 14:39 GMT+1 which might be interesting for you:

Dear
all,

I am a student and I am willing to use some analysis ProM plug-Ings (Process
Analysis and Performance) for my Master Thesis.

My problem is that I need of case studies as real benchmark
datasets and I tried to find them from the web, as usual in data mining
context, but unfortunately there is no way I could find them.

Could
you tell me where I can find (If there are) the case studies for ProM?

Thank
you in advance

Tip for user manual creation of plug-ins: use Wink

JBuijs — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 05:36:19 -0400

Posted on behalf of JC, send to the ProM_Developers mailing list at 4-8-2010 11:28 (CET

Dear ProM developers,

Often, we find it difficult/tedious to write a good user manual for the plug-ins we create. You can consider using “Wink” (http://www.debugmode.com/wink/) to create compelling vignettes of your plug-in.

Thanks and Kind Regards,
