ABSTRACT:
A computer-implemented method, apparatus, and article of manufacture that constructs graph models from logs of past, unstructured executions of the given process. The graph model so produced conforms to the dependencies and past executions present in the log. By providing graph models that capture the previous executions of the process, this technique allows easier introduction of a workflow system and evaluation and evolution of existing processes.
