Guided Process Discovery – A pattern-based approach

作者：

Highlights：

• The Guided Process Discovery (GPD) method is proposed to discover process models that are more comprehensible to stakeholders and suited to answer process questions.

• The GPD method uses domain knowledge expressed as activity patterns to connect low-level events to high-level activities.

• The application on a real-life event log of a hospital shows that the GPD method can be successfully applied in complex, real-life environments.
