Efficient comparison of process models using Tabu search algorithm

Abstract

Copyright © 2019 for this paper by its authors. Companies from various domains record their operational behavior in a form of event logs. These event logs can be analyzed and relevant process models representing the real companies’ behavior can be discovered. One of the main advantages of the process discovery methods is that they commonly produce models in a form of graphs which can be easily visualized giving an intuitive view of the executed processes. Moreover, the graph-based representation opens new challenging perspectives for the application of graph comparison methods to find and explicitly visualize differences between discovered process models (representing real behavior) and refe..
