Abstract

Workflow Management Systems (WfMS) provide a fundamental technological infrastructure to define and manage business processes efficiently. WfMS logs contain valuable data that can be used to discover and extract knowledge about the execution of workflows and processes. One piece of important and useful information that can be discovered is related to the prediction of the path that will be followed during the execution of a workflow. We call this type of discovery, path mining. In this paper, we present and describe how path mining can be achieved using different data mining techniques including the Multimethod approach.
