Title
Superclass Extraction Problem Of Workflow Nets And A Solution Procedure Based On Process Mining Technique
Abstract
An organization may have two or more similar workflows as a result of workflow evolutions or mergers and acquisitions. We should grasp the common behavior of those workflows to consolidate the management of them and/or to do business process reengineering. Workflows can be modeled as a particular class of Petri nets, called workflow nets. The common behavior of two or more workflow nets can be represented as a superclass under the behavioral inheritance of those workflow nets. In this paper, we tackled a problem of extracting a superclass from two workflow nets, named Superclass Extraction problem. We first gave a definition of the problem. Next we proposed a procedure to solve the problem on the basis of process mining technique. Then we gave an application of the proposed procedure.
