Alpha Algorithm

edited February 2011 in - Usage

Dear friends,

Are there any extensions or versions of alpha algorithm that work without the assumotion of completeness ?

With best regards

Mousavi

    Dear Mousavi,

    I don't think that there are extensions of the Alpha algorithm that are able to relax that assumption.
    I don't think that there are many plug-ins out there that can relax that assumption.

    Why do you need it?

  • To contribute to the discussion for future readers, the following phrase comes from the Wikipedia article on the Alpha Algorithm.

    It can be shown that in the case of a complete workflow log generated by a sound SWF net, the net generating it can be reconstructed. Complete means that its \succ_W relation is maximal. It is not required that all possible traces be present (which would be countably infinite for a net with a loop).
