Welcome to the Process Analytics monthly news 👋.
Our monthly reminder: The goal of the Process Analytics project is to provide a means to rapidly display meaningful Process Analytics components in your web pages using BPMN 2.0 notation and Open Source libraries.
Apples, pumpkins and colorful leaves 🍂! This October was a fruitful spooky month 🎃. Our participation in the leading Process Mining conference ICPM was a great success 💪. And we worked closely with our hacktoberHeros 🦸 to make their open source contribution a learning and success experience.
Events
Hacktoberfest: Highlights
As we said previously, the Process Analytics team participated in Hacktoberfest 2022. We opened dedicated issues of all flavors on our various repositories: bpmn-visualization Typescript library, its related examples repository, the project website and the bpmn-visualization R package.
We were very lucky to receive some high quality contributions 🏅. We warmly thank our contributors for their interest and for getting in touch with us 🙏.
Hacktoberfest was a great learning experience for us too, as maintainers 👷♂️. We enjoyed interacting with people of many different profiles, from students 🧑🎓 to experienced developers 👩💻.
Stay tuned for an upcoming article dedicated to detailing the contributions and activities related to Hacktoberfest 2022 ✨.
ICPM: Flashback
The bpmn-visualization Typescript library was in the spotlight 🔥 on October 27th at the International Conference on Process Mining (ICPM), the leading conference for process mining experts.
Nour Assy, our developer advocate, presented a live demo to researchers, professionals and practitioners in the field. We were honored by the great interest and the valuable feedback we received from the community 💡.
We will soon publish a report summarizing this fruitful experience and highlighting some of our great moments - stay tuned 😉.
bpmn-visualization JS/TS library
In October, we released 3 versions: 0.27.0, 0.27.1 & 0.28.0.
Easier integration in applications
🔥 The three new releases have gradually made the integration of _bpmn-visualization _easier:
- Version 0.27.0 drops the need for special settings in your tsconfig.json file 🎁. Now, just add bpmn-visualization to your dependencies and start coding.
- Version 0.27.1 fixes a bug that forced a workaround when integrating bpmn-visualization with frameworks like Svelte or Angular 🐛.
- Version 0.28.0 changed the TypeScript requirement from 4.5 to 4.0 🎉. You can now use bpmn-visualization in applications locked with older versions of TypeScript.
For more details, see the related release notes (links available above ☝️).
Demos and examples
We released two demos this month to show the capabilities of the bpmn-visualization library by illustrating different use cases of process analytics.
💡 Test the demos yourself in our live environment.
ICPM demo
This is the demo that we presented at the ICPM conference. We showcased three different scenarios:
- Visualizing conformance data that are generated by a process mining technique called conformance checking.
- Visualizing violations of compliance rules.
- Visualizing the happy path that corresponds to the most frequent path executed in the process.
Getting started tutorial
We have published a step-by-step introduction to using the bpmn-visualization library in a Getting Started tutorial. For this, we prepared an online monitoring scenario and proposed to visualize data related to:
- The running instances and their number ⚙️.
- The status of the running instances: whether or not they violate the predefined Key Performance Indicators (KPI) ⏱️.
Plans for the future
Here are some of the topics we will be covering in the coming months:
- We are working on the R package. Some related news is coming soon.
- We are working on supporting additional BPMN elements.
- And most importantly, this is the time of the year we are working on our roadmap for next year 🛣️ ! External feedback is more than welcome! If you have any novel, creative, or crazy ideas 💥 for process analytics visualization, feel free to contact us 👋 using our social channels linked below 👇.
That’s all folks!
We hope you enjoyed this October project news and are looking forward to what the rest of the fall will bring** **👋.
