B Defintions

In this section we aim to compile useful defintions to ensure that we have similar language tools

B.1 Useful terminology

B.1.1 describing a process

deadlock: a path deadlocks if it reaches a non-final state without any outgoing transitions livelock: some transitions are still enabled but it is impossible to reach one of the final states concurancy desire line/ golden path

activity: well defined step in a process (often an event in a event log) case: process instance trace: the combination of activities into cases (multiple traces make up the process flow) resource: person/device executing the activity timestamp: crucial element of event logs
