Interactive Process Mining Toolkit

The Interactive Process Mining Toolkit is composed of several tools that are presented below in the corresponding order of appearance (left sidebar menu). The starting point is the HOME window; from where, on opening the program, the user will be asked for login.

• Home. From here experiments can be launched.
• Experiment designer. This is where the data rodeo process is implemented. The Experiment designer has several components —drag and drop block elements— to allow the process miner to configure a runner file. PMApp automatically fills its containers with these runner elements to be customized. The first stage of a data rodeo is to define a factory. Some of these factories require the creation of an ingestor, which is implemented in the Ingestor Editor. The ingestor has several components that are created as drag and drop block elements to allow the process miner to configure the ingestion. However, new components can also be created as runner block elements. PMApp automatically fills the blocks with the runner elements available in the app.
• Process designer. It allows editing or creating scratch processes (TPA files – *.itpa,*.stpa) that can later be used in specific runner blocks.
• Remote experiments. It allows executing experiments on a remote server. Some works may take longer or even block the computer, for that reason it is recommendable for heavier experiments to execute them remotely.
• Settings. It allows configuring some characteristics of the IPMT, such as the remote server to launch experiments on.
• PMApp. The core element, where the analysis is carried out by the health experts or the process miners.
