Uncovering Change: A Streaming Approach for Declarative Processes

Process discovery is a family of techniques that helps to comprehendprocesses from their data footprints. Yet, as processes change over time so shouldtheir corresponding models, and failure to do so will lead to models that underor over-approximate behaviour. We present a discovery algorithm that extractsdeclarative processes as Dynamic Condition Response (DCR) graphs from eventstreams. Streams are monitored to generate temporal representations of the process, later processed to create declarative models. We validated the technique byidentifying drifts in a publicly available dataset of event streams. The metricsextend the Jaccard similarity measure to account for process change in a declarative setting. The technique and the data used for testing are available online.
