From Petri Nets to Guard-Stage-Milestone Models

摘要

Artifact-centric modeling is an approach for modeling business processes based on business artifacts, i.e., entities that are central for the company's operations. Existing process mining methods usually focus on traditional process-centric rather than artifact-centric models. Furthermore, currently no methods exist for discovering models in Guard-Stage-Milestone (GSM) notation from event logs. To bridge this gap, we propose a method for translating Petri Net models into GSM which gives the possibility to use the numerous existing algorithms for mining Petri Nets for discovering the life cycles of single artifacts and then generating GSM models.
