PRODIGY: PROcess-Decision Integration for KnowledGe-intensive Process Modeling and DiscoverY Ghent University

Frederik Gailly
Department of Business Informatics and Operations Management

Modeling and automating business processes is important for improving efficiency and effectiveness
in businesses. During the execution of a business process, a plethora of business decisions need to
be made in order to ensure the correct enactment of the business process. With increasing
automation of business processes, the need for the automation of routine business decisions grows,
as business processes contain a lot of ...

The effects of selection by regularization in high-dimensions - composite estimation, model averaging and dimension reduction KU Leuven

Gerda Claeskens
Research Centre for Operations Research and Statistics (ORSTAT), Leuven

There is a recent awareness of requiring additional efforts for inference when a selection of variables or models has taken place. This can be placed into the larger framework of correct inference and research integrity.

We focus mainly on the high-dimensional setting and consider these valid post-selection issues for composite estimation, model averaging and dimension reduction. Composite estimation involves using a linear combination ...

Corporate entrepreneurship: An institutional-based perspective Ghent University

Tom Vanacker
Department of Accounting, Corporate Finance and Taxation

Corporate entrepreneurship (CE), a joint function of risk-taking, proactive strategic decision making,
and firm innovation, can potentially provide firms with a competitive advantage. Moreover, it is
important for entire economies as well because it can increase productivity, improve best practices,
create new industries, and enhance international competitiveness. Unsurprisingly, CE has inspired
significant empirical ...

Evaluating process model quality: do discovered process models only contain system behavior and nothing more? Hasselt University

Benoit DEPAIRE
Business Informatics
Process mining concerns the discovery of process models based on observed process behavior. Over the last decades, many process discovery algorithms have been developed, each with their own strengths. To support further scientific progress in this domain, the community is in need of a strong evaluation framework for process discovery techniques. Currently, four building blocks for such a framework can be identified, i.e. a set of evaluation ...

Optimisation of batch plant design: mathematical models and algorithms for strategic decision support University of Antwerp

Trijntje Cornelissens
Engineering Management
This research project focuses on the impact of supply chain strategy on the design of multi-product chemical batch plants. Strategic design covers equipment choice, number and size, combined with tactical guidelines for the operational planning . Although highly interwoven, past research barely integrates plant design with supply chain strategies. The aim of this research is to develop mathematical models and a heuristic solution methods for ...

FWO travel credit for a long stay abroad at the Wirtschaftsuniversität Wien, Oostenrijk Hasselt University

Niels MARTIN
Business Informatics
This research stay is related the PhD research of Niels Martin concerning the use of process mining to support business process simulation model construction. To build a simulation model of a business process, a range of modelling tasks need to be conducted. One of these modelling tasks is the batch organisation of work, which refers to the accumulation of multiple units of work (such as files) to process them as a group. During the research ...

Value co-creation with multiple stakeholders in innovation networks. University of Antwerp

Annouk Lievens
Marketing
In the medical device industry, innovation takes place within a network of stakeholders such as pharmaceutical companies and suppliers that co-create value for everyone involved. This poses unique challenges as companies need to learn how to collaborate and understand how their position within the network influences innovation outcomes.Theoretically, we analyze this from 3 perspectives: marketing, innovation and healthcare. We start by ...

Optimisation of batch plant design: mathematical models and algorithms for tactical decision support. University of Antwerp

Trijntje Cornelissens
Engineering Management
This research project focuses on the impact of supply chain strategy on the tactical design of multiproduct chemical batch plants. Tactical design covers plant configuration as well as equipment choice, number, size, as layout of the pipeline network. Although highly interwoven, past research barely integrates plant design and supply chain or production strategies. The aim of this research is to gradually develop a mathematical model and a ...
