Process Mining Versus Intention Mining

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing ((LNBIP,volume 147))

Abstract

Process mining aims to discover, enhance or check the conformance of activity-oriented process models from event logs. A new field of research, called intention mining, recently emerged. This field has the same objectives as process mining but specifically addresses intentional process models (processes focused on the reasoning behind the activities). This paper aims to highlight the differences between these two fields of research and illustrates the use of mining techniques on a dataset of event logs, to discover an activity process model as well as an intentional process model.
