Mining Process Models from Workflow Logs
نویسندگان
چکیده
Modern enterprises increasingly use the work ow paradigm to prescribe how business processes should be performed. Processes are typically modeled as annotated activity graphs. We present an approach for a system that constructs process models from logs of past, unstructured executions of the given process. The graph so produced conforms to the dependencies and past executions present in the log. By providing models that capture the previous executions of the process, this technique allows easier introduction of a work ow system and evaluation and evolution of existing process models. We also present results from applying the algorithm to synthetic data sets as well as process logs obtained from an IBM Flowmark installation.

A Multi-Level Process Mining Framework for Correlating and Clustering of Biomedical Activities using Event Logs
Cost, time and resources are major factors affecting the quality of hospitals business processes. Bio-medical processes are twisted, unstructured and based on time series making it difficult to do proper process modeling for them. On other hand, Process mining can be used to provide an accurate view of biomedical processes and their execution. Extracting process models from biomedical code sequ...
متن کاملWorkflow Mining of More Perspectives of Workflow
The goal of workflow mining is to obtain objective and valuable information from event logs .The research of workflow mining is of great significance for deploying new business process as well as analyzing and improving the already deployed ones. Many information systems log event data about executed tasks. Workflow mining is concerned with the derivation of a graphical process model out of thi...
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...
متن کاملDiscovering Process Models from Unlabelled Event Logs
Existing process mining techniques are able to discover process models from event logs where each event is known to have been produced by a given process instance. In this paper we remove this restriction and address the problem of discovering the process model when the event log is provided as an unlabelled stream of events. Using a probabilistic approach, it is possible to estimate the model ...
متن کاملDiscovery of Cancellation Regions within Process Mining Techniques
Process mining is a relatively new field of computer science which deals with process discovery and analysis based on event logs. In this work we consider the problem of discovering workflow nets with cancellation regions from event logs. Cancellations occur in the majority of real-life event logs. In spite of huge amount of process mining techniques little has been done on cancellation regions...
متن کاملHeuristics Miner for Time Intervals
Process Mining attempts to reconstruct the workflow of a business process from logs of activities. This task is quite important in business scenarios where there is not a well understood and structured definition of the business process performed by workers. Activities logs are thus mined in the attempt to reconstruct the actual business process. In this paper, we propose the generalization of ...
