Abstract:

Current workflow management systems (WFMS) offer little aid for the acquisition of workflow models and their adaptation to changing requirements. To support these activities we propose an approach, that induces workflow models from workflow instances. In this contribution we focus on the induction of the workflow structure and report about ongoing research in this area. We define four problem classes in terms of characteristics of the target model. For three of these classes solutions are presented. These solutions have been implemented in a research prototype, which we have validated using artificially generated workflow instances. The induced workflow models can be imported by the commercial business process management system ADONIS
