PM4KNIME: Process Mining Meets the KNIME Analytics Platform (Extended Abstract)

Process mining allows organizations to transform the data recorded during the execution of their processes into meaningful insights. These insights can help to detect problems and to improve the processes. Various process mining solutions have been developed, both for industrial and academic purposes. However, most of these solutions do not support the creation and execution of analytics workflows. The KNIME Analytics Platform (KNIME in short) is an open-source workflow based analytics platform that supports various techniques in the field of data science. KNIME is widely used in numerous industries across many countries. This paper presents the process mining extension for KNIME, which integrates many powerful process mining algorithms into KNIME. Using the process mining extension of KNIME, process mining can be combined with other types of data science techniques available in KNIME.
