Workflow Mining: Current Status and Future Directions
نویسندگان
چکیده
Current workflow management systems require the explicit design of the workflows that express the business process of an organization. This process design is very time consuming and error prone. Considerable work has been done to develop heuristics to mine event-data logs to produce a process model that can support the workflow design process. However, all the existing heuristic-based mining algorithms have their limitations. To achieve more insight into these limitations the starting point in this paper is the α-algorithm [3] for which it is proved under which conditions and process constructs the algorithm works. After presentation of the α-algorithm, a classification is given of the process constructs that are difficult to handle for this type of algorithms. Then, for some constructs (i.e. short loops) it is illustrated in which way the α-algorithm can be extended so that it can correctly discover these constructs.

Workflow Mining Application to Ambient Intelligence Behavior Modeling
The handmade human behavior modeling requires too many human resources and for too long a time. In addition, the final result does probably not reflect the current status of the person due to the influence of time. The use on Workflow Mining techniques to infer human behavior models from past executions of actions can be a solution to this problem. In this paper, a Human Behavior modeling metho...

متن کاملDiscovering 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...
