Abstract

In the last years business process mining has become a wide research area. However, existing process mining techniques encounter challenges while dealing with event logs stemming from highly flexible environments because such logs contain a large amount of different behaviors. As a result, inaccurate and wrong analysis results might be obtained. In this paper we propose a case (a case is an instance of the business process) classification technique which is able to combine domain experts knowledge for classifying cases so that each group is calculated containing the cases with similar behaviors. By applying existing process mining techniques on the cases for each group, more meaningful and accurate analysis results can be obtained.
