Discovering data transfer routines from user interaction logs

作者:

Highlights:

• This paper presents an approach to discover executable specifications for RPA.

• The approach takes as input a log of User Interactions from one or more process workers.

• The approach produces an executable specification that can be compiled into an RPA bot.

• The approach is evaluated on synthetic and real-life logs.

• The evaluation reports on its execution times and ability to accurately discover routines.

• The evaluation shows that the approach is able to rediscover routines present in a log.

• The approach identifies automatable routines that users recognize as such in real-life logs.
