Incremental Workflow Mining for Process Flexibility

Abstract. Incremental workflow mining is a technique for automatically deriving a process model from the on-going executions of a process. This way, the process model becomes more and more accurate, and is automatically adapted when the process is being changed. Therefore, incremental workflow mining could help in flexible workflow support: In this paper, we describe a setting that combines incremental workflow mining with gradually increasing the control of a workflow system. Process mining is an active research area. Most of the existing process mining algorithms need a log of the activities resp. the tasks of the process executions. In practice, however, many systems used for executing the processes are not aware of the activities
