Unleashing Operational Process Mining

This report documents the program and the outcomes of Dagstuhl Seminar 13481 “Unleashing Operational Process Mining”. Process mining is a young research discipline connecting computational intelligence and data mining on the one hand and process modeling and analysis on the other hand. The goal of process mining is to discover, monitor, diagnose and improve real processes by extracting knowledge from event logs readily available in today’s information systems. Process mining bridges the gap between data mining and business process modeling and analysis. The seminar that took place November 2013 was the first in its kind. About 50 process mining experts joined forces to discuss the main process mining challenges and present cutting edge results. This report aims to describe the presentations, discussions, and findings. Seminar 25.–29. November, 2013 – www.dagstuhl.de/13481 1998 ACM Subject Classification H.2.8 Database Applications (Data mining), H.2.1 Logical Design (Data models), K.6 Management of Computing and Information Systems
