BPMN Miner: Automated discovery of BPMN process models with hierarchical structure

作者:

Highlights:

• We propose a technique for the discovery of BPMN models with hierarchical structure.

• The hierarchy is mined via functional and inclusion dependency discovery techniques.

• Process and subprocess models are mined using existing process discovery techniques.

• Models and logs are analyzed in order to identify boundary events and markers.

• Process models are more accurate and less complex when discovered by our technique.
