Abstractions in Process Mining: A Taxonomy of Patterns

ions in Process Mining: A Taxonomy of Patterns R.P. Jagadeesh Chandra Bose1,2 and Wil M.P. van der Aalst1 1 Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, University of Technology, Eindhoven, The Netherlands 2 Philips Healthcare, Veenpluis 5-6, Best, The Netherlands Process mining refers to the extraction of process models from event logs. Real-life processes tend to be less structured and more flexible. Traditional process mining algorithms have problems dealing with such unstructured processes and generate spaghetti-like process models that are hard to comprehend. One reason for such a result can be attributed to constructing process models from raw traces without due pre-processing. In an event log, there can be instances where the system is subjected to similar execution patterns/behavior. Discovery of common patterns of invocation of activities in traces (beyond the immediate succession relation) can help in improving the discovery of process models and can assist in defining t...
