Discovering coordination patterns using process mining

Recently, process mining has become a vivid research area [5, 6]. The basic idea of process mining is to diagnose business processes by mining event logs for knowledge. Process mining techniques and tools provide the means for discovering process, control, data, organizational, and social structures from event logs. In this paper we provide an overview of process mining techniques/tools and their challenges. Using the coordination pattern between a service client and a service provider, we illustrate the application of process mining techniques to uncover coordination patterns.
