A new framework for defining realistic SLAs: An evidence-based approach
In a changing and competitive business world, business processes are at the heart of modern organizations. In some cases, service level agreements (SLAs) are used to regulate how these business processes are provided. This is usually the case when the business process is outsourced, and some guarantees about how the outsourcing service is provided are required. Although some work has been done concerning the structure of SLAs for business processes, the definition of service level objectives (SLOs) remains a manual task performed by experts based on their previous knowledge and intuition. Therefore, an evidence-based approach that curtails humans involvement is required for the definition of realistic while challenging SLOs. This is the purpose of this paper, where performance-focused process mining, goal programming optimization techniques, and simulation techniques have been availed to implement an evidence-based framework for the definition of SLAs. Furthermore, the applicability of the proposed framework has been evaluated in a case study carried out in a hospital scenario. © Springer International Publishing AG 2017

Uniform strong law of large numbers for random signed measures
We prove a strong law of large numbers for random signed measures on Euclidean space that holds uniformly over a family of arguments (sets) scaled by diagonal matrices. Applications to random measures generated by sums of random variables, marked point processes and stochastic integrals are also presented
