For SUPER researchers it may be interesting to know about the new and substantial extended version of the process mining framework ProM.
ABOUT: ProM 5.0 is a pluggable environment supporting process mining research and applications.
FEATURES:The process mining framework ProM provides a versatile and extendible plugable environment for process mining. ProM 5.0 offers almost 250 plug-ins proving a wide range of functionality, and supports different types of process models ranging from Petri nets, EPCs and Protos to BPEL, BPMN, and YAWL.
Some plug-ins can extract different types of process models (or, for example, organizational models) from event logs, transaction logs, messaging systems, or databases. Unlike existing BI and BAM tools, ProM supports true discovery, that is, models can be extracted without a-priori modeling. New and powerful process discovery techniques have been added in ProM 5.0, including: - semantic process mining techniques that use or discover ontologies,
- so-called fuzzy mining techniques that make it is possible to create dynamic process maps that can animate processes as they really take place.
Other plug-ins support the conversion and analysis of (extracted) models. Examples include the conformance checker plug-in, which can compare models with reality, and the performance analysis plug-in, which can enhance existing models with bottleneck information. In Prom 5.0, it is even possible to enhance an extracted process model into a complete simulation model which:
- includes organizational aspects and case data aspects,
- can be used to recommend suitable actions to be taken by the user.
IMPLEMENTATION:ProM is platform independent as it is implemented in Java, and can be downloaded free of charge. The ProM framework is issued under an open source license, namely the Common Public License (CPL), and we invite researchers and developers to contribute in the form of new plug-ins.
