ProM 6.1 Release notes

Core components

  • Plug-ins are now aware of the package they reside in.
  • User now needs to confirm saving to existing file.
  • In the activity view, the cursor now automatically jumps to the filter box. This allows the user to start filtering right away.
  • Visualized graphs can now be exported to different formats (EPS, PNG, PDF, …).
  • Changes in ProM.ini:
  • Changes in Package Manager:
    • Package Manager now allows the selection of multiple packages. As a result, the installation or removal of many packages at once has become more easy.
  • Bug fixes.

Packages

  • AllPackages (new)
    • Version 6.1.29
    • This package is a meta-package that depends on all other packages that are contained in the ProM 6.1 release. As a result, after having installed this package, all packages of the ProM 6.1 release have been installed as well.
    • The Show package overview shows an overview of installed packages and plug-ins. For plug-ins, it also shows the package the plug-in resides in.
  • AlphaMiner
    • Version 6.1.66
    • No changes.
  • Animation (factored out as separate package)
    • Version 6.1.34
    • This package contains necessary animation support for the Fuzzy and TransitionSystem packages, which includes a generic animation visualizer (Show animation).
    • The layout of the animated graph will only be copied from the original graph. If the original graph has no layout yet, the animation will have no layout either.
  • AProMore (new)
    • Version 6.2.79
  • BPMN
    • Version 6.1.32
    • This package contains basic BPMN support.
    • Bug fixes.
  • Clustering (new)
    • Version 6.1.36
  • ConceptDrift (new)
    • Version 6.1.9
  • COSAImportExport
    • Version 6.1.37
    • This package contains basic support for COSA, which is relevant for Protos/Woflan users as Protos and Woflan use the COSA format as intermediary format. This package uses the Murata package to have silent transitions removed wherever possible.
  • Cosimulation (new)
    • Version 6.1.58
    • Run CPN models together with Java objects, including executing a method whenever a transition is executed, a token is produced on a place, replace a substitution transition with a Java object, or using an executing CPN models as a Java object.
    • Get a notification in the GUI whenever a transition is executed including ability to modify the executed binding.
    • Get a notification in the GUI whenever a token is produced on a place.
    • Orchestrate executions of ProM workflows using CPN models, making it possible to automate routine workflows inside ProM.
  • CPNet (new)
    • Version 6.1.47
    • Make CPN models first-class objects in ProM.
    • Import CPN models.
    • Simulate CPN models and generate logs from the simulation.
  • CTLStar (new)
    • Version 6.1.43
  • Declare (factored out as separate package)
    • Version 6.1.75
    • Make Declare models first-class objects in ProM.
    • Separate Declare functionality (importing and visualization) into a separate package.
    • Translate Declare models to transition systems for further analysis.
  • DeclareMiner
    • Version 6.1.55
    • The Declare Miner plug-in allows the user to discover a Declare model from a log, using a number of settings. There are two versions of the plug-in. The first one, the Declare Miner, requires a Declare language as input. The second one, the Declare Miner Default, uses a predefined Declare language and does not require any language as input.
    • There is now a first dialog where it is possible to choose the event classes to be involved in the discovered constraints (PoE, Percentage of Events).
    • In the previous version, the second dialog allowed users to set PoE, PoI (Percentage of instances), allowing users to discover a constraint also if satisfied only in a given percentage of process instances and NoR (Number of rules), allowing users to set the minimum number of constraints to discover (considering the ones satisfied in the larger number of process instances). In the current version, the second dialog allows users to select the semantics used for the discovered constraints (weak, neutral, strong), PoI again, and PoIW (Percentage of Interesting Witnesses) allowing users to discover a constraint only if it is “activated” in a given percentage of process instance.
