MINING AND MODELING DECISION WORKFLOWS FROM DSS USER ACTIVITY LOGS

Abstract

This paper introduces the concept of decision workflows, regarded as the sequence of actions of the decision maker in decision making process. We show how, based on a decision support system we previously created, we log the behaviour of the decision maker. The log is then imported into ProM framework and mined using existent process mining algorithms. The mined model will show us the control-flow perspective (which is the order of decision maker’s actions), the organisational perspective (which is the actual relationship among decision makers in group decisions), and the case perspective (what kind of support is required by each type of decisions). The aim of our research is to automate the creation of decision making patterns. Once obtained, the workflows can be merged into a financial enterprise model, which, properly validated, can become a financial reference model.
