Computing Refined Ordering Relations with Uncertainty for Acyclic Process Models
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Since the behavior is the essential characteristic of business process models, and ordering relations between execution of tasks can be used to describe the behavior of process models, we need to compute the ordering relations between tasks in process models. This computation can be used for compliance checking and querying process models based on behavior. There are three basic types of ordering relations between two events in a concurrent system, i.e., causal, conflict, and concurrency. In this paper, we refine the causal and concurrency relations with uncertainty according to whether one task is always executed with the other task in the same instance. To compute the refined ordering relations with uncertainty efficiently, we propose some rules for adjacent tasks and some transitive laws for nonadjacent tasks together with their proofs. Based on these rules and laws, we propose an algorithm to compute the refined ordering relations for acyclic process models based on unfolding technology. The algorithm has a biquadrate time to the size of complete prefix unfolding of the original model.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
