Process Mining Pipelines with Controlled Sharing of Data and Algorithms

Process mining leverages execution traces within an organisation’s IT systems to gain insights into its processes. Despite being a mature discipline in academia and industry, setting up process mining pipelines is still a complex task and involves programming, manual steps, and considerations of privacy and intellectual property. This paper introduces a platform based on a distributed architecture that helps define, deploy, and execute process mining pipelines across organisations. The requirements for this distributed architecture and platform are derived from a set of process mining scenarios, whose relevance is validated through a survey. Furthermore, this paper introduces a prototype for an initial version of the platform, demonstrating feasibility and supporting the specified requirements.
