The shift to object-centric process mining is enabled by a change in the underlying data model: from cases (which flattens source data to group events by a single primary identifier) to object-centric event data (which models relations between objects and events using many-to-many relations). This shift also comes with a storage and performance overhead - … Continue reading 5x-10x Faster Object-Centric Event Data Systems Just by Waiting – Event Knowledge Graphs are Catching Up
Over the last months I had various exchanges with practitioners and vendors in process mining on the topic of Object-Centric Process Mining (OCPM). And while the idea has been around for a while, industrial adoption remains a challenge even for seasoned experts. But why is that? From these conversations I gathered that adopting OCPM faces … Continue reading Why is transitioning to Object-Centric Process Mining non-trivial?
Object-Centric Processes are a new way to look at processes: instead understanding a process execution as a sequence of isolated steps in a monolithic case, an object-centric process describes how its activities work on the various involved and related objects over time. This idea of describing processes as emerging from an interplay of changes to … Continue reading Object-Centric Processes – from cases to objects and relations… and beyond
The process mining landscape is evolving rapidly - both in industry and in research. But our education has not kept up. The "(still) very successful "original" Process Mining MOOC Process Mining in Action has been extremely successful in teaching the foundations of Process Mining to a broad audience of practitioners, students, and researchers aiming to … Continue reading Online Course on Multi-Dimensional Process Analysis
This post summarizes my talk on “Data Storage vs Data Semantics for Object-Centric Event Data” I gave at the XES symposium at the ICPM 2022 conference. I first provide a bit of background and the problem we faced, before I turn to the issue of separating data storage from data semantics. Background Process Mining analysis … Continue reading Data Storage vs Data Semantics for Object-Centric Event Data
Also this year, we are organizing the 3rd International workshop on Event Data and Behavioral Analytics (EdbA’22) at the ICPM’22. Part of our workshop philosophy is to dedicate half of the time to open discussions on the topics of the workshop. The discussion often turns to what makes the problems we are looking at difficult … Continue reading The hidden assumptions and forgotten topics of Process Mining, part 2 (Deviations, Patterns, Features)

Classical event logs have the fundamental shortcoming of describing process behavior only in isolated process executions from the viewpoint of a single case entity. Most real-life processes involve multiple entities and process executions are not isolated but tightly connected - through actors and entities involved in multiple executions. This post summarizes how event graphs are … Continue reading How do Event Graphs help analyzing Event Data over Multiple Entities?
