Business processes described by formal or semi-formal models are realized via information systems. Event logs generated from these systems are probably not consistent with the existing models due to insufficient design of the information system or the system upgrade. By comparing an existing process model with event logs, we can detect inconsistencies called deviations, verify and extend the business process model, and accordingly improve the business process. In this paper, some abnormal activities in business processes are formally defined based on Petrinets. An efficient approach to detect deviations between the process model and event logs is proposed. Then, business process models are revised when abnormal activities exist. A clinical process in a healthcare information system is used as a case study to illustrate our work. Experimental results show the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed approach. |
