Process mining: On the fly process discovery

Abstract

Process mining is a set of techniques helping enterprises to avoid process modeling, which is time consuming, and error prone task. The goal of such techniques is to extract the process as it has been executed. However, the increase of data production in event logs of process aware information systems makes it necessary to mine the processes in real time. For this purpose, it is necessary to define new approaches for process discovery analyzing data on the fly. This paper presents a new process discovery approach aiming to extract data on the fly by discovering the set of blocks composing the process.
