Abstract
Systems and methods for performing process mining on a multi-instance process comprising one or more multi-instance subprocesses are provided. An event log of the multi-instance process is divided into a main log and one or more sublogs by collapsing events of each of the one or more multi-instance subprocesses into a single activity. A process graph is generated for the main log and for each of the one or more sublogs. The generated process graphs are combined into a combined process graph. The combined process graph is output.
Claims20
A computer implemented method for performing process mining on a multi-instance process comprising one or more multi-instance subprocesses, the method comprising:
- dividing an event log for the multi-instance process into a main log and one or more sublogs by collapsing events of each of the one or more multi-instance subprocesses into a single activity;
- generating a process graph for the main log and for each of the one or more sublogs;
- combining the generated process graphs into a combined process graph;
- and
- outputting the combined process graph.
An apparatus comprising:
- a memory storing computer instructions for performing process mining on a multi-instance process comprising one or more multi-instance subprocesses;
- and
- at least one processor configured to execute the computer instructions, the computer instructions configured to cause the at least one processor to perform operations of:
- dividing an event log for the multi-instance process into a main log and one or more sublogs by collapsing events of each of the one or more multi-instance subprocesses into a single activity;
- generating a process graph for the main log and for each of the one or more sublogs;
- combining the generated process graphs into a combined process graph;
- and
- outputting the combined process graph.
A computer program embodied on a non-transitory computer-readable medium for performing process mining on a multi-instance process comprising one or more multi-instance subprocesses, the computer program configured to cause at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
- dividing an event log for the multi-instance process into a main log and one or more sublogs by collapsing events of each of the one or more multi-instance subprocesses into a single activity;
- generating a process graph for the main log and for each of the one or more sublogs;
- combining the generated process graphs into a combined process graph;
- and
- outputting the combined process graph.
