WorkflowMiner: a New Workflow Patterns and Performance Analysis tool

Engineering workflow applications is becoming more and more complex, involving numerous interacting business objects within considerable processes. Analysing the interaction structure of those complex applications will enable them to be well understood, controlled, and redesigned. Our contribution to workflow patterns analysis is a statistical technique to discover workflow patterns from event-based log. Our approach is characterised by a ”local” workflow patterns discovery that allows to cover partial results through a dynamic programming algorithm. Those local discovered workflow patterns are then composed iteratively until discovering the global workflow model. Our approach has been implemented within our prototype WorkflowMiner3 that we present through this demonstration paper as follows: section 2 describes detailedWorkflowMiner design architecture, and section 3 presents a demonstration case study on which we base our tool demonstration. Theoretical aspects are to be seen in [1].
