چکیده

Current enterprises spend much effort in obtaining precise models of their software engineering processes in order to improve the process capability of their organization and to move one step forward in the CMM. The manual design of process models, however, is complicated, time-consuming, error-prone and the results are rapidly becoming out-dated; capabilities of humans in detecting discrepancies between the actual process and its model are limited. Thus, automatic techniques for deriving process models are very important. In this paper, we present an approach that exploits the user interaction with a document version management system for the automatic derivation of process models

Discovering, Analyzing and Enhancing BPMN Models Using ProM

Process mining techniques relate observed behavior to modeled behavior, e.g., the automatic discovery of a process model based on an event log. Process mining is not limited to process discovery and also includes conformance checking and model enhancement. Conformance checking techniques are used to diagnose the deviations of the observed behavior as recorded in the event log from some process ...

Discovering Process Models: a Multi-Relational Approach

The automatic discovery of process models can help to gain insight into various perspectives (e.g., control flow or data perspective) of the process executions traced in an event log. Association rule mining offers a means of building a human understandable representation of these process models. The variety of activities and actors involved in a process execution demands for a relational (or s...

Discovering Structured Event Logs from Unstructured Audit Trails for Workflow Mining

Workflow mining aims to find graph-based process models based on activities, emails, and various event logs recorded in computer systems. Current workflow mining techniques mainly deal with well-structured and -symbolized event logs. In most real applications where workflow management software tools are not installed, these structured and symbolized logs are not available. Instead, the artifact...

Privacy-Preserving Alpha Algorithm for Software Analysis

Validation in a big software system can be managed by analysis of its behaviour through occasionally collected event logs. Process mining is a technique to perform software validation by discovering process models from event logs or by checking the conformance of the logs to a process model. A well-known algorithm in process mining to discover process models is alpha algorithm. However, while u...
