Overlapping Analytic Stages in Online Process Mining

Process mining uses business event logs to understand the flow of activities, to identify anomalous cases and to enhance processes. Today, real-time process mining tools mainly deal with a single task at a time (process discovery, conformance checking, process enhancement or concept change detection). In this paper, we introduce an underlined layer overlapping with multiple online process mining tasks to smooth their integration. Following a case clustering approach, based on trace and time analysis, our proposal supports simultaneously: process discovery, conformance checking, and concept drift detection. We evaluated our approach and compared it with other techniques using both real-life and synthetic data, obtaining promising results.
