A PROPERTY SPECIFICATION LANGUAGE FOR WORKFLOW DIAGNOSTICS

Abstract

The paper presents a declarative language for workflow property specification. The language has been developed to help analysts in formulating workflow-log properties in such a way that the properties can be checked automatically. The language is based on the Propositional Linear Temporal Logics and the structure of logs. The standard structure of logs is used when building algorithms for property checks. Our tool for property driven workflow mining combines a tool-wizard for property construction, property parsers for syntax checks and a verifier for property verification. The tool is implemented as an independent component that can extend any process management system or any process mining tool.
