Learning Outcomes

After successfully completing this course, students will be able to: - explain the principles of process mining and its application area - understand the structure of event logs (the basic input for process mining) and how it is generated - know basic process mining algorithms for the different perspectives: discovery, conformance, and enhancement, and their limitations - how to run a process mining project

Content

Process mining is a family of new data analysis methods that aims to discover, monitor, and improve business processes and is more and more adopted by industry. It analyses so-called event logs, which captures the real execution data of business processes, and are usually collected from one or several information systems supporting the execution of business processes. The main difference to traditional data analysis techniques is that process mining explicitly focuses on the process perspective. That is, it aims to reveal the complex order relations among the activities captured in the event log. This lecture gives an introduction into the field of process mining. After introducing basic formalisms, the lecture provides a detailed and algorithmic perspective on the three key process mining perspectives: process discovery conformance checking, and enhancement. Furthermore, it is discussed how typically process mining projects are executed. Finally, the lecture shows how process mining is currently used in industrial environments.

The Workload of the module sums up to 180.0 Hours. Therefore the module contains 6 Credits.

Description of Teaching and Learning Methods

Lectures, assignments, and project: - Participation from students is expected, and attendance will be of tremendous value towards successful completion. - Assignments are used for a self-study of the learnt material and for a practical application of the introduced techniques. Students are asked to actively participate in the assignment discussion, also as preparation for the written exam. - The project will mimic a real-world project, and provide practical experiences in running a process mining project.

Requirements for participation and examination
