1 Methods for the specification and verification of business processes MPB (6 cfu, 295AA) Roberto Bruni Process Mining 1
2 Object We overview the key principles of process mining 2
3 Process Mining Process mining is a relative young research discipline that sits between machine learning and data mining on the one hand and process modeling and analysis on the other hand. The idea of process mining is to discover, monitor and improve real processes (i.e., not assumed processes) by extracting knowledge from event logs readily available in today s systems. 3
4 Processes, Cases, Events, Attributes A process consists of cases. A case consists of events such that each event relates to precisely one case. Events within a case are ordered. Events can have attributes. Examples of typical attribute names are activity, time, costs, and resource. 4
5 Event Logs Let us assume that it is possible to sequentially record events such that each event: refers to an activity (i.e., a well-defined step in the process) and is related to a particular case (i.e., a process instance). 5

7 Mining Scheme 1.3 Process Mining 9 Fig. 1.4 Positioning of the three main types of process mining: discovery, conformance, and engiovedì 13 dicembre 2012
8 Discovery A discovery technique takes an event log and produces a model without using any a-priori information. If the event log contains information about resources, one can also discover resource-related models, e.g., a social network showing how people work together in an organization. 8
9 Conformance An existing process model is compared with an event log of the same process. Conformance checking can be used to check if reality, as recorded in the log, conforms to the model and vice versa. Conformance checking may be used to detect, locate and explain deviations, and to measure the severity of these deviations. 9
10 Enhancement The idea is to extend/improve an existing process model using information about the actual process recorded in some event log. Whereas conformance checking measures the alignment between model and reality, this third type of process mining aims at changing or extending the a-priori model. 10
11 Enhancement: Repair One type of enhancement is repair, i.e., modifying the model to better reflect reality. For example, if two activities are modeled sequentially but in reality can happen in any order, then the model may be corrected to reflect this. 11
12 Four Perspectives 12
13 Control-Flow Perspective The control-flow perspective focuses on the control-flow, i.e., the ordering of activities. The goal of mining this perspective is to find a good characterization of all possible paths, e.g., expressed in terms of a Petri net or some other notation (e.g., EPC, BPMN, and UML AD). We shall focus on this perspective 13
14 Organizational Perspective The organizational perspective focuses on information about resources hidden in the log, i.e., which actors (e.g., people, systems, roles, and departments) are involved and how are they related. The goal is to either structure the organization by classifying people in terms of roles and organizational units or to show the social network. 14
15 Case Perspective The case perspective focuses on properties of cases. Obviously, a case can be characterized by its path in the process or by the originators working on it. However, cases can also be characterized by the values of the corresponding data elements. For example, if a case represents a replenishment order, it may be interesting to know the supplier or the number of products ordered. 15
16 Time Perspective The time perspective is concerned with the timing and frequency of events (performance checking). When events bear timestamps it is possible to discover bottlenecks, measure service levels, monitor the utilization of resources, and predict the remaining processing time of running cases. 16

When comparing the event log and the model, there seems to overfitting and underfitting.
28 Overfitting and Underfitting One of the challenges of process mining is to balance between overfitting (the model is too specific and only allows for the accidental behavior observed) and underfitting (the model is too general and allows for behavior unrelated to the behavior observed). 28
29 Discussion The Petri net shown also allows for traces not in the log. For example, other possible traces are <a, d, c, e, f, b, d, e, g> and <a, c, d, e, f, c, d, e, f, c, d, e, f, c, d, e, f, b, d, e, g> This is a desired phenomenon as the goal is not to represent just the particular set of example traces in the event log. Process mining algorithms need to generalize the behavior contained in the log to show the most likely underlying model that is not invalidated by the next set of observations 29
30 Mining Other Models We used Petri nets to represent the discovered process models, because Petri nets are a succinct way of representing processes and have unambiguous but intuitive semantics. However, some mining techniques are independent of the 1.2 Limitations of Modeling 5 desired representation. Fig. 1.2 The same process modeled in terms of BPMN 30

For example, the traces a, d, c, e, f, b, d, e, g and a, c, d, e, f, c, d, e, f, c, d, e, f, c, d, e, f, b, d, e, g are also possible. This is a desired phenomenon as the goal is not to represent just the particular set of example traces in the event log. Process mining algorithms need to generalize the behavior contained in the log to show the most likely underlying model that is not invalidated by the next set of observations. One of the challenges of process mining is to balance between overfitting (the model is too specific and only allows for the accidental behavior observed) and underfitting (the model is too general and allows for behavior unrelated to the behavior observed). When comparing the event log and the model, there seems to be a good balance between overfitting and underfitting. All cases start with a and end with either g or h. Every e is preceded by d and one of the examination activities (b or c). Moreover, e is followed by f, g, or h. The repeated execution of b or c, d, and e suggests the presence of a loop. These characteristics are adequately captured by Fig. 1.5 The process model discovered by the α-algorithm [103] based on the set of traces the net of Fig { a, b, d, e, h, a, d, c, e, g, a, c, d, e, f, b, d, e, g, a, d, b, e, h, a, c, d, e, f, d, c, e, f, c, d, e, h, Let a, usc, now d, e, g } consider an event log consisting of only two traces a, b, d, e, h and a, d, b, e, h, i.e., Cases 1 and 4 of the original log. For this log, the α-algorithm constructs the Petri net shown in Fig This model only allows for two traces After and these executing are exactly h, the the case ones ends in the in the small desired eventfinal log. bmarking and d are with modeled just a token as being Case id 32 Trace 1 a, b, d, e, h 2 a, d, c, e, g 3 a, c, d, e, f, b, d, e, g 4 a, d, b, e, h 5 a, c, d, e, f, d, c, e, f, c, d, e, h 6 a, c, d, e, g 7 a, b, e, g 8 a, b, d, e 9 a, d, c, e, f, d, c, e, f, b, d, e, h 10 a, c, d, e, f, b, d, g
33 Process Discovery: α-algorithm 33
34 Process Discovery Process discovery is the activity that combines Discovery with the Control-flow Perspective. The general problem: A process discovery algorithm is a function that maps an event log L onto a process model M such that the model M is representative for the behavior seen in the event log L. We focus on simple event logs and Petri net models (possibly sound workflow nets). 34

37 Appropriateness 5.4 Challenges Fig Balancing the four quality dimensions: fitness, simplicity, precision, and gen 37 made. For example: What is the penalty if a step needs to be skipped an the penalty if tokens remain in the WF-net after replay? Later, we will giv definitions for fitness. In Sect , we defined performance measures like error, accurac fp-rate, precision, recall, and F1 score. Recall, also known as the tp-rate, the proportion of positive instances indeed classified as positive (tp/p). T in the log are positive instances. When such an instance can be replay model, then the instance is indeed classified as positive. Hence, the variou of fitness can be seen as variants of the recall measure. Most of the notion in Sect cannot be used because there are no negative examples, i.e. are unknown (see Fig. 3.14). Since the event log does not contain informa events that could not happen at a particular point in time, other notations ar The simplicity dimension refers to Occam s Razor. This principle wa discussed in Sect In the context of process discovery, this mean simplest model that can explain the behavior seen in the log, is the be The complexity of the model could be defined by the number of nodes in the underlying graph. Also more sophisticated metrics can be used, e.g that take the structuredness or entropy of the model into account. Se an empirical evaluation of the model complexity metrics defined in lite Sect , we also mentioned that this principle can be operationalized
38 α-algorithm The α-algorithm was one of the first process discovery algorithms that could adequately deal with concurrency. It has several limitations, but it provides a good introduction into the topic: The α-algorithm is simple and many of its ideas have been embedded in more complex and robust techniques. The α-algorithm scans the event log for particular patterns, called log-based ordering relations, to create a footprint of the log. 38
