Process mining is a relatively young and developing research area with the main idea of discovering, monitoring and improving processes by extracting information from event logs. With the increase of cloud computing and shared infrastructures, event logs of multiple organizations are available for analysis where cross-organizational process mining stands with the opportunity for organizations learning from each other. The approach proposed in this study mines process models of organizations and calculates performance indicators; followed by clustering of organizations based on performance indicators and finally spots mismatches between the process models to generate recommendations. This approach is implemented as an extensible and configurable plug-in set in ProM framework and tested by synthetic and real life logs where successful and suitable results are achieved with defined evaluation metrics. Generated recommendation results indicate that the use of this approach can help users to focus on the parts of process models with potential performance improvement, which are difficult to spot manually and visually.

Extracting process hierarchies by multi-sequence alignment adaptations
Esgin, Eren; Karagöz, Pınar (2021-01-01)
Process mining is an active research area that provides a wide range of automated process discovery, conformance checking and process enhancement solutions by extracting process information from event logs. With the emerge of new shared economy models and system architectures, monolithic perspective of process mining, i.e. a single process within a single organisation, is evolved towards cross-organisational business processes. The results can be used to form new collaboration among the organisations and sh...
A Hybrid Approach to Process Mining: Finding Immediate Successors of a Process by Using From-To Chart
Esgin, Eren; Karagöz, Pınar (2009-12-15)
Process mining is a branch of data mining that aims to discover process model from the event logs. In this study, we propose a hybrid approach to process mining in such a way that, "from-to chart" is used as the front-end to monitor the transitions among activities of a realistic event log. Another novelty of this study is developed evaluation metrics, which are used for finding immediate successors in order to convert these raw relations into dependency/frequency graph.
Process Profiling based Synthetic Event Log Generation
ESGIN, EREN; Karagöz, Pınar (2019-09-19)
The goal of process mining is to discover the process behavior from the runtime information of process executions. Having labeled process logs is crucial for process mining research. However, real life event logs at process-aware information systems are mostly partially assigned to case identifiers, known as unlabeled event log problem. As a remedy to labeled data need in process mining research, we propose an approach to generate synthetic event logs according to the provided process profile, which outline...
Learning from risks: A tool for post-project risk assessment
Dikmen Toker, İrem; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat; Aouad, G. (2008-12-01)
Risk management (RM) comprises of risk identification, risk analysis, response planning, monitoring and action planning tasks that are carried out throughout the life cycle of a project in order to ensure that project objectives are met. Although the methodological aspects of RM are well-defined, the philosophical background is rather vague. In this paper, a learning-based approach is proposed. In order to implement this approach in practice, a tool has been developed to facilitate construction of a lessons...
