Apply token-based replay for conformance checking analysis. The methods return the full token-based-replay diagnostics.

Token-based replay matches a trace and a Petri net model, starting from the initial place, in order to discover which transitions are executed and in which places we have remaining or missing tokens for the given process instance. Token-based replay is useful for Conformance Checking: indeed, a trace is fitting according to the model if, during its execution, the transitions can be fired without the need to insert any missing token. If the reaching of the final marking is imposed, then a trace is fitting if it reaches the final marking without any missing or remaining tokens.

In PM4Py there is an implementation of a token replayer that is able to go across hidden transitions (calculating shortest paths between places) and can be used with any Petri net model with unique visible transitions and hidden transitions. When a visible transition needs to be fired and not all places in the preset are provided with the correct number of tokens, starting from the current marking it is checked if for some place there is a sequence of hidden transitions that could be fired in order to enable the visible transition. The hidden transitions are then fired and a marking that permits to enable the visible transition is reached. The approach is described in: Berti, Alessandro, and Wil MP van der Aalst. “Reviving Token-based Replay: Increasing Speed While Improving Diagnostics.” ATAED@ Petri Nets/ACSD. 2019.

The output of the token-based replay, stored in the variable replayed_traces, contains for each trace of the log:

  • trace_is_fit: boolean value (True/False) that is true when the trace is according to the model.

  • activated_transitions: list of transitions activated in the model by the token-based replay.

  • reached_marking: marking reached at the end of the replay.

  • missing_tokens: number of missing tokens.

  • consumed_tokens: number of consumed tokens.

  • remaining_tokens: number of remaining tokens.

  • produced_tokens: number of produced tokens.

Parameters:

  • log – event log

  • petri_net (PetriNet) – petri net

  • initial_marking (Marking) – initial marking

  • final_marking (Marking) – final marking

  • activity_key (str) – attribute to be used for the activity

  • timestamp_key (str) – attribute to be used for the timestamp

  • case_id_key (str) – attribute to be used as case identifier

  • return_diagnostics_dataframe (bool) – if possible, returns a dataframe with the diagnostics (instead of the usual output)

  • opt_parameters – optional parameters of the token-based replay, including: * reach_mark_through_hidden: boolean value that decides if we shall try to reach the final marking through hidden transitions * stop_immediately_unfit: boolean value that decides if we shall stop immediately when a non-conformance is detected * walk_through_hidden_trans: boolean value that decides if we shall walk through hidden transitions in order to enable visible transitions * places_shortest_path_by_hidden: shortest paths between places by hidden transitions * is_reduction: expresses if the token-based replay is called in a reduction attempt * thread_maximum_ex_time: alignment threads maximum allowed execution time * cleaning_token_flood: decides if a cleaning of the token flood shall be operated * disable_variants: disable variants grouping * return_object_names: decides whether names instead of object pointers shall be returned

Return type:

List[Dict[str, Any]]
