Iskra: A Tool for Process Model Repair

Abstract

This paper is dedicated to a tool whose aim is to facilitate process mining experiments and evaluation of the repair algorithms. Process mining is a set of approaches which provides solutions and algorithms for discovery and analysis of business process models based on event logs. Process mining has three main areas of interest: model discovery, conformance checking and enhancement. The paper focuses on the latter. The goal of enhancement process is to refine an existing process model in order to make it adhere event logs. The particular approach of enhancement considered in the paper is called decomposed model repair. Although the paper is devoted to the implementation part of the approach, theoretical preliminaries essential for domain understanding are provided. Moreover, a typical use case of the tool is shown as well as guides to extending the tool and enriching it with extra algorithms and functionality. Finally, other solutions which can be used for implementation of repair schemes are considered, pros and cons of using them are mentioned.
