Contemporary workflow management systems are driven by explicit process models, i.e., a completely specified workflow design is required in order to enact a given workflow process. Creating a workflow design is a complicated time-consuming process and typically there are discrepancies between the actual workflow processes and the processes as perceived by the management. Therefore, new techniques for discovering workflow models have been required. Starting point for such techniques are so-called أworkflow logs" containing information about the workflow process as it is actually being executed. In this thesis, new mining technique based on time information is proposed. It is assumed that events in workflow logs bear timestamps. This information is used in to determine task orders and control flows between tasks. With this new algorithm, basic workflow structures, sequential, parallel, alternative and iterative (i.e., loops) routing, and advance workflow structure or-join can be mined. While mining the workflow structures, this algorithm also handles the noise problem.

Pommes: a tool for quantitative project management Bozkurt, Candaş; Demirörs, Onur; Department of Information Systems (2005) Metric collection process and Project Management activities cannot be performed in an integrated fashion on most of the software projects. In software engineering world, there are Project Management Tools that has embedded project metrics and there are various Metric Collection Tools that collect specific metrics for satisfying requirements of different software life cycle phase activities (Configuration Management, Requirements Management, Application Development tools etc.). These tools however are not co...
A Goal question metric based tool for goal oriented business process modeling Meral, Başak; Oğuztüzün, Mehmet Halit S.; Department of Computer Engineering (2014) In this work, a new visual and functional tool that is built to support new approaches for functional and non-functional parts of business process modeling is presented. The new tool, which is also capable of keeping numerical relationships between goals, is developed following an approach that helps to correlate business processes with goals. These goals and numerical relationships between goals make up a directed acyclic graph and they are represented as a Structured Equation Model graph. In order to obta...
Interactive classification of satellite image content based on query by example Dalay, Oral; Atalay, Mehmet Volkan; Department of Computer Engineering (2005) In our attempt to construct a semantic filter for satellite image content, we have built a software that allows user to indicate a few number of image regions that contains a specific geographical object, such as, a bridge, and to retrieve similar objects on the same satellite image. We are particularly interested in performing a data analysis approach based on user interaction. User can guide the classification procedure by interaction and visual observation of the results. We have applied a two step proce...
Meta-Modeling of Complexity-Uncertainty-Performance Triad in Construction Projects Dikmen Toker, İrem; Erol, Huseyin; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat (Informa UK Limited, 2020-07-01) Although conceptualized in various ways within the project management literature, complexity is usually identified as one of the drivers of uncertainty, which may result in deviations from the expected project performance in the construction industry. Effective strategies to manage risk and complexity can only be formulated by understanding the complexity-uncertainty-performance triad in construction projects and modeling the non-linear interactions between these factors. In this study, a meta-modeling appr...
Unified Process Modeling with UPROM Tool Aysolmaz, Banu; Demirörs, Onur (2014-06-20) UPROM tool is a business process modeling tool designed to conduct business process and user requirements analysis in an integrated way to constitute a basis for process automation. Usually, business process models are not utilized systematically to develop related artifacts, specifically when a process-aware information system is to be developed to automate those processes. This results in completeness, consistency and maintainability problems for those artifacts. Unified business process modeling methodol...
