Challenges in Service Mining: Record, Check, Discover

چکیده

Process mining aims to discover, monitor and improve real processes by extracting knowledge from event logs abundantly available in today’s information systems. Although process mining has been applied in hundreds of organizations and process mining techniques have been embedded in a variety of commercial tools, to date these techniques have rarely been used for analyzing web services. One of the obvious reasons is that cross-organizational event data cannot be shared easily. However, (1) messages exchanged between services tend to be structured, (2) service-orientation continues to be the predominant implementation paradigm, and (3) the most substantial efficiency gains can often only be achieved across different organizations. Hence, there are many possible applications for service mining, i.e., applying process mining techniques to services. If messages are recorded, then one can discover a process describing interactions between services. If, in addition, descriptive or normative models are available, one can use process mining to check conformance and highlight performance problems. This extended abstract aims to provide pointers to ongoing work on service mining and lists some of the main challenges in this emerging field. 1 From Process Mining to Service Mining Process mining is an enabling technology for service mining. Process mining can be used to discover processes from raw event data, check the conformance of observed and modeled behavior, enhance models by improving or extending them with knowledge extracted from event logs [2]. The uptake of process mining is not only illustrated by the growing number of papers, but also by commercial analysis tools providing process mining capabilities, cf. Disco (Fluxicon), Perceptive Process Mining (Perceptive Software, before Futura Reflect and BPMone by Pallas Athena), ARIS Process Performance Manager (Software AG), ProcessAnalyzer (QPR), Interstage Process Discovery (Fujitsu), Discovery Analyst (StereoLOGIC), and XMAnalyzer (XMPro). Web services have become one of the main paradigms for architecting and implementing business collaborations within and across organizational boundaries

Process Mining in Web Services: The WebSphere Case

Process mining has emerged as a way to discover or check the conformance of processes based on event logs. This enables organizations to learn from processes as they really take place. Since web services are distributed over autonomous parties, it is vital to monitor the correct execution of processes. Fortunately, the “web services stack” assists in collecting structured event logs. This infor...

Finding Suitable Activity Clusters for Decomposed Process Discovery

Event data can be found in any information system and provide the starting point for a range of process mining techniques. The widespread availability of large amounts of event data also creates new challenges. Existing process mining techniques are often unable to handle “big event data” adequately. Decomposed process mining aims to solve this problem by decomposing the process mining problem ...
