Process Research

UCI Process research focuses on providing a flexible process modeling and execution environment to help improve coordination and managerial control, and techniques for collecting application usage data over the Internet to help inform the development process.

Endeavors Process Execution Environment

Endeavors is an open, distributed, extensible process execution environment. It is designed to improve coordination and managerial control of development teams by allowing flexible definition, modeling, and execution of typical workflow applications. This site includes the latest Endeavors releases, on-line documentation, presentations, publications, and more.

EDEM: Expectation-Driven Event Monitoring

Expectation-Driven Event Monitoring (EDEM) is an approach and an agent-based architecture for collecting application usage data over the Internet on a potentially large and ongoing basis. EDEM allows developers of interactive systems to collect information that is currently lost regarding application usage, thereby contributing to a more empirically grounded development process. This site includes software, demos, presentations, and publications.

Future Endeavors

Petri-net Process Analysis is a tool to convert control flow based workflows into Petri-nets and perform analysis on workflow attributes.

Reality Check analyses instance data generated by adaptive workflow management tools and creates generalized processes.
