Dagstuhl-Seminar — Multi-Faceted Visual Process Mining and Analytics

Process mining and visual analytics are separate disciplines with the common goal of helping humans gain insight into and extract knowledge about relevant phenomena from complex data. Process mining (PM) is a rapidly growing discipline blending machine learning and data mining concepts with ideas taken from the field of business process management (BPM). It utilizes event data recorded by IT systems that support business process execution for a variety of tasks, from the automated discovery of graphical process models to operational support. Visual Analytics (VA) is a multidisciplinary approach that combines interactive, visual, and analytical methods to make complex phenomena more comprehensible, facilitate new insights, and enable knowledge discovery. VA research happens at the intersection of data mining and knowledge discovery, information visualization, human-computer interaction, and cognitive science.
