Merging event logs for inter-organizational process mining

摘要: In an inter-organizational environment, the discovery of process choreography is challenging because the different organizations involved have to put together their partial knowledge about the overall collaborative business process. This chapter presents a methodology to merge the event logs of the different partners of a collaborative business process, in order to serve as input for the process mining algorithm. On the one hand, the methodology consists of a method set for searching the correlation between events of the log of different partners involved in the collaboration. These methods are implemented at the trace level and the activity level. On the other hand, the methodology consists of a set of methods and rules for discovering process choreography. From the knowledge gained by the above methods, message-type tasks are identified and marked in each event log, then using a formal set of rules, the …
