Declo: A chatbot for user-friendly specification of declarative process models

Year: 2020
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: Proposed approaches for modeling knowledge-intensive processes include declarative, constraint-based solutions, which meet halfway between support and flexibility.A noteworthy example is the Declare framework, which is equipped with a graphical declarative language whose semantics can be expressed with multiple logic-based formalisms.So far, the practical use of Declare constraints has been mostly hampered by the difficulty of modeling them: the formal notation of Declare represents a steep learning curve for users lacking an understanding of temporal logic, while the graphical notation has proven to be unintuitive.This work presents Declo, a chatbot that allows users to easily define declarative constraints using natural language statements provided in the form of vocal or textual input.The supported constraints cover the entire Multi-Perspective extension of Declare (MP-Declare), complementing control-flow constraints with data and temporal perspectives.
