Synthetic Business Process Simulation

Project description

SynBPS

Downloads Documentation Status

SynBPS is short for Synthetic Business Process Simulation, as it is intended for the simulation of synthetic (i.e. multiple, hypothetical) business processes from parametric distributions.

The intended usage of this software is to benchmark models within predictive process monitoring research. It is not intended for the simulation of real-world business processes, but rather as an addition to existing benchmark data, such as the BPI Challenge datasets.

The benefit of SynBPS is the full transparency of the data generating process, which can help further understand the effects of different process characteristics on predictive performance.
