TLDR
This paper introduces the concept of workflow mining and presents a common format for workflow logs, and discusses the most challenging problems and present some of the workflow mining approaches available today.Abstract:
Many of today's information systems are driven by explicit process models. Workflow management systems, but also ERP, CRM, SCM, and B2B, are configured on the basis of a workflow model specifying the order in which tasks need to be executed. Creating a workflow design is a complicated time-consuming process and typically there are discrepancies between the actual workflow processes and the processes as perceived by the management. To support the design of workflows, we propose the use of workflow mining. Starting point for workflow mining is a so-called "workflow log" containing information about the workflow process as it is actually being executed. In this paper, we introduce the concept of workflow mining and present a common format for workflow logs. Then we discuss the most challenging problems and present some of the workflow mining approaches available today.read more

A hybrid approach for dynamic business process mining based on reconfigurable nets and event types
Ning Li,Jianchu Kang,Weifeng Lv +2 more
TL;DR: A hybrid process mining approach to dynamic business process is proposed, based on reconfigurable net and event types, which gives a method of mining dynamic changes in different instances and finally generate a reconfigured workflow net.

User behavioural patterns and reduced user profiles extracted from log files
TL;DR: Based on the similar attributes of people, a new approach is able to construct models which explain certain aspects of a persons behaviour and can extract user profiles based on behaviour and find latent ties between users and between different user groups with similar behaviours.
