(Bi)graphical Models and Applications to Concurrency Theory
Abstract: I will briefly introduce mobile process calculi for concurrent computing and focus on the Join calculus [1], which is readily distributed and quite similar to the actor model used in Scala/Akka. Bigraphs [2], a graphical meta model aiming to unify concurrent modelling, fails to encode Join calculi terms and their behaviour directly. In order to compare and reason about calculi within the bigraphical model, it needs to be extended. I will introduce the basic theory of bigraphs and give an encoding of Join into bigraphs by defining and applying orthogonal reactive systems. The encoding has a direct syntactic and semantic correspondence. The preservation of established bigraph theory will be outlined. Moreover, the concept of orthogonal systems can be used to define syntactical refinement operators as well as to embed computation layers into models. My work shows that orthogonal reactive systems are a conservative extension that allows the expression of a greater variety of features in bigraphs while retaining their established theory.

Customer journey attribution with model based attributable risk
The efficiency of marketing investments is of high interest. However it is very difficult to be measured due to the split of marketing investments into multiple channels with different performance measures. Multi-touch attribution addresses performance based compensation to multiple channels with respect to the contribution to conversions.
Click streams across multiple channels and conversion events, e.g. purchases, are called customer journeys. A logistic regression model that reflects both performance of touch points (e.g. clicks) and temporal relation to other touch points is fit to a sample of customer journeys. The probability estimates are used for the estimation of attributable risk for channels / a channel. That is:"the fraction of conversions that would not have been concluded if a channel / some channels did not serve ads".
