Call For Papers - CFP

organizing a special session at the 2012 IEEE World Congress on

Computational Intelligence/ IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation

(IEEE CEC/WCCI 2012). The goal of this special session is to join

experts in the area of process mining to present new techniques and

applications. Therefore, submissions of papers on new process mining

techniques, computational intelligence applications of process mining,

business intelligence, automated business process discovery,

conformance checking, process intelligence, etc., are welcome. See

http://processminingcec2012.wordpress.com/ for more details on the

special session. See http://www.ieee-wcci2012.org/ieee-wcci2012/ for

detailed submission information.

Process mining is a relative young research discipline that sits

between computational intelligence and data mining on one hand, and

process modeling and analysis on the other hand. The idea of process

mining is to discover, monitor and improve real processes (not assumed

processes) by extracting knowledge from event logs readily available

in today's systems. Process mining provides an important bridge

between data mining and business process modeling and analysis.

Process mining research started in the late nineties. At that time

there was little event data available and the process mining

techniques were extremely naive and hence unusable. Over the last

decade, event data has become readily available and process mining

techniques have matured. Moreover, process mining algorithms have been

implemented in various academic and commercial systems. Today, there

is an active group of researchers working on process mining and it has

become one of the "hot topics" in BPM research. Moreover, there is a

huge interest from industry in process mining. More and more software

vendors started adding process mining functionality to their tools.

Furthermore, the diverse range of computational intelligence

approaches and methodologies are well suited to approaches combining

process mining and other computational intelligence adaptive business

systems.
