Log Skeletons: A Classification Approach to Process Discovery
To test the effectiveness of process discovery algorithms, a Process
Discovery Contest (PDC) has been set up. This PDC uses a classification
approach to measure this effectiveness: The better the discovered model can
classify whether or not a new trace conforms to the event log, the better the
discovery algorithm is supposed to be. Unfortunately, even the state-of-the-art
fully-automated discovery algorithms score poorly on this classification. Even
the best of these algorithms, the Inductive Miner, scored only 147 correct
classified traces out of 200 traces on the PDC of 2017. This paper introduces
the rule-based log skeleton model, which is closely related to the Declare
constraint model, together with a way to classify traces using this model. This
classification using log skeletons is shown to score better on the PDC of 2017
than state-of-the-art discovery algorithms: 194 out of 200. As a result, one
can argue that the fully-automated algorithm to construct (or: discover) a log
skeleton from an event log outperforms existing state-of-the-art
fully-automated discovery algorithms.Comment: 16 pages with 9 figures, followed by an appendix of 14 pages with 17

Geometrical CP violation in multi-Higgs models
We introduce several methods to obtain calculable phases with geometrical
values that are independent of arbitrary parameters in the scalar potential.
These phases depend on the number of scalars and on the order of the discrete
non-Abelian group considered. Using these methods we present new geometrical CP
violation candidates with vacuum expectation values that must violate CP (the
transformation that would make them CP conserving is not a symmetry of the
potential). We also extend to non-renormalisable potentials the proof that more
than two scalars are needed to obtain these geometrical CP violation
candidates.Comment: 8 pages, 2 figures. v2: table added, accepted by JHE

Geometric Second Order Field Equations for General Tensor Gauge Fields
Higher spin tensor gauge fields have natural gauge-invariant field equations
written in terms of generalised curvatures, but these are typically of higher
than second order in derivatives. We construct geometric second order field
equations and actions for general higher spin boson fields, and first order
ones for fermions, which are non-local but which become local on gauge-fixing,
or on introducing auxiliary fields. This generalises the results of Francia and
Sagnotti to all representations of the Lorentz group.Comment: 34 pages, LaTeX. Reference adde

New high-sensitivity, milliarcsecond resolution results from routine observations of lunar occultations at the ESO VLT
(Abridged) Lunar occultations (LO) are a very efficient and powerful
technique, that achieves the best combination of high angular resolution and
sensitivity possible today at near-infrared wavelengths. Given that the events
are fixed in time, that the sources are occulted randomly, and that the
telescope use is minimal, the technique is very well suited for service mode
observations. We have established a program of routine LO observations at the
VLT observatory, especially designed to take advantage of short breaks
available in-between other programs. We have used the ISAAC instrument in burst
mode, capable of producing continuous read-outs at millisecond rates on a
suitable subwindow. Given the random nature of the source selection, our aim
has been primarily the investigation of a large number of stellar sources at
the highest angular resolution in order to detect new binaries. Serendipitous
results such as resolved sources and detection of circumstellar components were
also anticipated. We have recorded the signal from background stars for a few
seconds, around the predicted time of occultation by the Moon's dark limb. At
millisecond time resolution, a characteristic diffraction pattern can be
observed. Patterns for two or more sources superimpose linearly, and this
property is used for the detection of binary stars. The detailed analysis of
the diffraction fringes can be used to measure specific properties such as the
stellar angular size and the presence of extended light sources such as a
circumstellar shell. We present a list of 191 stars for which LO data could be
recorded and analyzed. Results include the detection of 16 binary and 2 triple
stars, all but one of which were previously unknown. The projected angular
separations are as small as 4 milliarcseconds and magnitude differences as high
as ?K=5.8 mag...Comment: 10 pages, 3 figures, to be published in A&

Open Space – a collaborative process for facilitating Tourism IT partnerships
The success of IT projects depends on the success of the partnerships on which they are based. However past research by the author has identified a significant rate of failure in these partnerships, predominantly due to an overly technical mindset, leading to the question: “how do we ensure that, as technological solutions are implemented within tourism, due consideration is given to human-centred issues?” The tourism partnership literature is explored for additional insights revealing that issues connected with power, participation and normative positions play a major role. The method, Open Space, is investigated for its ability to engage stakeholders in free and open debate. This paper reports on a one-day Open Space event sponsored by two major intermediaries in the UK travel industry who wanted to consult their business partners. Both the running of the event and its results reveal how Open Space has the potential to address some of the weaknesses associated with tourism partnerships
