This research aims to develop transformations between object-centric causal nets and object-centric Petri nets to enhance process mining techniques.
Proposed formal definitions for bidirectional transformations.
Provided formal proofs to verify the correctness of transformations.
Implemented the transformations in a publicly available tool.
Conducted a qualitative evaluation of the transformations.
Developed play-out and replay procedures for the process models.
Demonstrated that an object-centric Petri net can be transformed into a behaviorally equivalent causal net.
Showed that underfitting occurs when transforming causal nets into Petri nets.
Found that the degree of underfitting correlates with the structure of the causal net, particularly related to activities consuming variable obligations.
