An event log is the key element of all change mining and process mining approaches. Those approaches bridge the gap between conventional business process management and data analysis techniques such as machine learning and data mining. In this day, companies and business organizations usually use a family of business processes that may face different variations and adjustments. Still, those processes are widely identical, with a slight difference in specific points. Consequently, performing a process mining or a change mining for each process will be a redundant task. The use of a configurable process model is a practical solution for redundancy problem. Thus, the process mining areas such as discovering verifying the conformity of a business process and enhancing processes, are reduced considerably. However, the configurable process models and the variability concept are rarely introduced in change mining approaches. The existing methods that analyse and manage event logs do not then consider the variability issue. Therefore, the fact of using a collection of event log becomes a challenging task. Our proposed approach is to merge and filter a collection of event logs from the same family with respect to variability. Our goal is to enhance change mining from a collection of event logs and detect changes in variable fragments of the obtained event log.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
