Uncovering the Runtime Enterprise Architecture of a Large Distributed Organisation - A Process Mining-Oriented Approach

Process mining mainly focuses on analyzing a single process that runs through an organization. Often organisations consist of multiple departments that need to work together to deliver a process. ArchiMate introduced the Business Process Cooperation Viewpoint for this. However, such models tend to focus on modeling design time, and not the runtime behavior. Additionally, many approaches exist to analyze multiple departments in isolation, or the social network they form, but the cooperation between processes received little attention.
