Process mining is a process management technique that allows for the analysis of business processes based on event logs. The basic idea is to extract knowledge from event logs recorded by an information system. Process mining aims at improving this by providing techniques and tools for discovering process, control, data, organizational, and social structures from event logs. This is also known in the industry as Automated Business Process Discovery (ABPD)
.
Applications

- process analysis filters, orders and compresses logfiles for further insight into the connex of process operations.
- process design may be supported by feedback from process monitoring, which means basically action or event logging
- process enactment uses results from process mining based on logging for triggering further process operation.
