On Business Process Variants Generation

چکیده
Cross-organizational mining is a new research field in the process mining domain, which focuses on the analysis and mining of processes in multiple organizations. Suitable access to collections of business process variants is necessary for researchers to evaluate their work in this research domain. To the best of our knowledge, no complete collection of process variants or any process variants/log generator tool exists for this purpose. In this paper, we propose an algorithm for generating random process variants for a given process model and a supporting toolset built on top of the PLG toolset. For this purpose, we classify different factors that can serve as variation points. Then, using the structure tree based representation of an input process, we present an algorithm for applying variation points based on a user-defined variation rate. The developed tool is publicly available for researchers to use.

Concept drift detection in event logs using statistical information of variants
In recent years, business process management (BPM) has been highly regarded as an improvement in the efficiency and effectiveness of organizations. Extracting and analyzing information on business processes is an important part of this structure. But these processes are not sustainable over time and may change for a variety of reasons, such as the environment and human resources. These changes ...

Problem is, though, the picture of where we are right now in terms of business process modeling is very lopsided. Most organizations have at least started BPM initiatives, but some are still blueprinting their processes on brown paper while others are building up sophisticated model repositories comprising thousands of process models in different variants and releases. Quite diverse, I’d say. O...

متن کاملContext-Based Variant Generation of Business Process Models
Nowadays, variability management of process models is a major challenge for Process-Aware Information Systems. Process model variants can be attributed to any of the following reasons: new technologies, governmental rules, organizational context or adoption of new standards. Current approaches to manage variants of process models address issues such as reducing the huge effort of modeling from ...
