Process mining techniques are able to extract knowledge from event logs commonly available in today’s information systems. These techniques provide new means to discover, monitor, and improve processes in a variety of application domains. There are two main drivers for the growing interest in process mining. On the one hand, more and more events are being recorded, thus, providing detailed info...

This report documents the program and the outcomes of Dagstuhl Seminar 13481 “Unleashing Operational Process Mining”. Process mining is a young research discipline connecting computational intelligence and data mining on the one hand and process modeling and analysis on the other hand. The goal of process mining is to discover, monitor, diagnose and improve real processes by extracting knowledg...

• A submitted manuscript is the author's version of the article upon submission and before peer-review. There can be important differences between the submitted version and the official published version of record. People interested in the research are advised to contact the author for the final version of the publication, or visit the DOI to the publisher's website. • The final author version ...

One of the most valuable assets of an organization is its organizational data. The analysis and mining of this potential hidden treasure can lead to much added-value for the organization. Process mining is an emerging area that can be useful in helping organizations understand the status quo, check for compliance and plan for improving their processes. The aim of process mining is to extract kn...

The management of business processes is receiving much attention, since it can support significant efficiency improvements in organizations. One of the most interesting problems is the representation of process models in a language that allows to perform reasoning on it. Various knowledge-based languages have been lately developed for such a task and showed to have a high potential due to the a...

Process mining has developed into a popular research discipline and nowadays its associated techniques are widely applied in practice. What is currently ill-understood is how the success of a process mining project can be measured and what the antecedent factors of process mining success are. We consider an improved, grounded understanding of these aspects of value to better manage the effectiv...

This demonstration paper describes version 4.1 of the ProM process mining tool. Process mining techniques attempt to extract non-trivial and useful process information from so-called “event logs”. ProM allows for the discovery of different process perspectives (e.g., control-flow, time, resources, and data) and supports related techniques such as control-flow mining, performance analysis, resou...

Process Mining umfasst eine Reihe von Methoden und Techniken, um Daten aus Ereignisprotokollen von Prozessen, den sogenannten Event Logs, zu analysieren und Informationen über die zu Grunde liegenden Prozesse und deren Bezug zu Prozessmodellen abzuleiten. Dieser Beitrag gibt einen Überblick der verschiedenenMöglichkeiten, ProcessMining im Zusammenhang mit Softwareprozessen einzusetzen, insbeson...

A manifesto is a "public declaration of principles and intentions" by a group of people. This manifesto is written by members and supporters of the IEEE Task Force on Process Mining. The goal of this task force is to promote the research, development, education, implementation, evolution, and understanding of process mining. Process mining is a relatively young research discipline that sits bet...
