Advanced SIKS-Course on Business Process Management

contact

INTRODUCTION

On October 05 and 06 2010, the School for Information and Knowledge Systems (SIKS) will organize an advanced course on Smart Auditing. The course takes two days, will be given in English and is part of the so called Advanced Components Stage of the Educational Program for SIKS-PhD- students. Although these courses are primarily intended for SIKS-PhD-students, other participants are not excluded. However, their number of passes will be restricted and depends on the number of students taking the course. The course is given by experienced lecturers actively involved in the research areas related to the topics of the course.

In order to ensure that business processes behave according to regulations and performance constraints, it is necessary to monitor them. How this monitoring is done effectively and efficiently changes over time as it depends heavily on the technology on which the business processes are executed and the tools available to the auditor. Important examples of technological developments that have an impact on the auditing are service-orientation, web computing and ubiquitous computing. In this course the student will learn both about innovation challenges in auditing and about new computational solution directions that can be pursued to meet these challenges, such as Process Mining, Complex Event Processing and Data Stream Querying.
