Estimating Structures of Business Process Models from Execution Logs

Process mining has been studied for many years but has not been so widely adopted in real business practices. In this study, we propose a practical approach to process mining. This approach has three characteristics. Firstly, we make use of transaction databases of business systems that don't necessarily have an identifier throughout a process instance, rather than workflow logs. Secondly, we visualize and analyze what really happened without model inference. Thirdly, we also analyze exceptional processes as well as typical processes. This approach is implemented in a tool called BPM-E and was successfully adopted in real business systems in Japan, North America, and Europe. We show two case studies of BPM-E in this paper to explain how it works after the technical description.

Abstract-Web Services have became the key part in the software development rapidly. There are many web services to ready available. The problem is lacks of the method that leads to guideline compose these web services to be successful. Web services composition was referred from different web services in a business application using an engine tools for composition. Each web services composition is wrapped to WSDL to deploy on system. When web services composition can be invoked by user request and recorded each service usage into services execution logs. The execution logs will be recorded success of fail execution of web services composition. The objective of this paper purposed a framework that can guide new patterns of web services for composition using information of exist WSDL and execution logs. Its outcome was collected the results that web services have composed successful or fails. Execution logs are employed to construct data mining model using mining association rules technique to guide how to select web service for composition from frequent of set of services successful. Mining association rules help to extract patterns of the relationship between each web services automatically.

Firstly, this paper studies the integration and implementation of design for six sigma (DFSS) and business process reengineering (BPR), proposes the idea of DFSS-BPR integration framework and implementation framework of process reengineering; simultaneous it analyzes the process of business process reengineering of DFSS-based good supply practice (GSP), builds the optimized major business process of GSP; and finally makes functional adaptation design of GSP information system based on the optimized GSP business process. The results of this study are useful for the analysis, design and smooth implementation of consequent GSP information system.
