In this episode we talk with Claudio Di Ciccio about declarative process modelling, and adjacent topics in process mining.

Claudio Di Ciccio is an assistant professor with the Institute for Information Business at Wirtschaftsuniversität Wien, Austria. His research interests include process mining, declarative process modelling, blockchains, and service oriented computing.

In 2015, his paper entitled “Ensuring Model Consistency in Declarative Process Discovery” has received the best paper award of the 13th conference on Business Process Management. In August 2018, he was Researcher of the Month of the Vienna University of Economics and Business.
