Download or read book Conformance Checking written by Josep Carmona and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-11-11 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces readers to the field of conformance checking as a whole and outlines the fundamental relation between modelled and recorded behaviour. Conformance checking interrelates the modelled and recorded behaviour of a given process and provides techniques and methods for comparing and analysing observed instances of a process in the presence of a model, independent of the model’s origin. Its goal is to provide an overview of the essential techniques and methods in this field at an intuitive level, together with precise formalisations of its underlying principles. The book is divided into three parts, that are meant to cover different perspectives of the field of conformance checking. Part I presents a comprehensive yet accessible overview of the essential concepts used to interrelate modelled and recorded behaviour. It also serves as a reference for assessing how conformance checking efforts could be applied in specific domains. Next, Part II provides readers with detailed insights into algorithms for conformance checking, including the most commonly used formal notions and their instantiation for specific analysis questions. Lastly, Part III highlights applications that help to make sense of conformance checking results, thereby providing a necessary next step to increase the value of a given process model. They help to interpret the outcomes of conformance checking and incorporate them by means of enhancement and repair techniques. Providing the core building blocks of conformance checking and describing its main applications, this book mainly addresses students specializing in business process management, researchers entering process mining and conformance checking for the first time, and advanced professionals whose work involves process evaluation, modelling and optimization.

This book was released on 1994-12-13 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All packaging engineers and technologists who want to ensure thatthey give their customers the highest quality, most cost-effectiveproducts should know that the paradigm has shifted. It has shiftedaway from the MIL-STDs and other government standards and testprocedures that don't cost-effectively address potential failuremechanisms or the manufacturing processes of the product. It hasshifted decisively towards tackling the root causes of failure andthe appropriate implementation of cost-effective process controls,qualityscreens, and tests. This book's groundbreaking, science-based approach to developingqualification and quality assurance programs helps engineers reacha new level of reliability in today's high-performancemicroelectronics. It does this with powerful... * Techniques for identifying and modeling failure mechanismsearlier in the design cycle, breaking the need to rely on fielddata * Physics-of-failure product reliability assessment methods thatcan be proactively implemented throughout the design andmanufacture of the product * Process controls that decrease variabilities in the end productand reduce end-of-line screening and testing A wide range of microelectronic package and interconnectconfigurations for both single-and multi-chip modules is examined,including chip and wire-bonds, tape-automated (TAB), flip-TAB,flip-chip bonds, high-density interconnects, chip-on-board designs(COB), MCM, 3-D stack, and many more.
