Fodina: A robust and flexible heuristic process discovery technique

作者：

Highlights：

• A literature review is presented to highlight current issues in state of the art heuristic process discovery techniques;

• A novel heuristic process discovery technique, Fodina, is introduced;

• The proposed technique aims to be more robust and configurable than related approaches and is able to mine duplicate tasks;

• A clear event-granular execution semantic is defined for Causal nets mined with Fodina;

• The performance and robustness of our technique are illustrated by means of an exhaustive empirical experiment.

摘要

In this paper, we present Fodina, a process discovery technique with a strong focus on robustness and flexibility. To do so, we improve upon and extend an existing process discovery algorithm, namely Heuristics Miner. We have identified several drawbacks which impact the reliability of existing heuristic-based process discovery techniques and therefore propose a new algorithm which is shown to be better performing in terms of process model quality, adds the ability to mine duplicate tasks, and allows for flexible configuration options.
