Abstract

In this work, we present some preliminary ideas about the development of an approach to mining different perspectives of a business process. Process mining, to date, has been narrowly concerned with mining the control-flow of a business process. There are very few process mining algorithms aimed at mining different business process perspectives. We believe one of the primary reasons for the paucity of process mining algorithms in perspectives other than control-flow is that there has been no general definition of what a business process perspective is. With this work, we provide a formal and general definition of a business process perspective, and present an approach to mine other business process perspectives using this definition.
