An IoT-Enriched Event Log for Process Mining in Smart Factories (2209.02702v1)

Abstract: Modern technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT) are becoming increasingly important in various domains, including Business Process Management (BPM) research. One main research area in BPM is process mining, which can be used to analyze event logs, e.g., for checking the conformance of running processes. However, there are only a few IoT-based event logs available for research purposes. Some of them are artificially generated and the problem occurs that they do not always completely reflect the actual physical properties of smart environments. In this paper, we present an IoT-enriched XES event log that is generated by a physical smart factory. For this purpose, we create the SensorStream XES extension for representing IoT-data in event logs. Finally, we present some preliminary analysis and properties of the log.
