| Abstract | A workflow is the sequence of connection step s or activities, which describes the operation of real works. It creates business process mo dels which produce event logs, audit trail or database records to keep track of activities during process execution. Base on the hidden knowledge in log files, we apply workflow mining to analyze and conduct the process models on execution traces of a collaborative system in order to create a workflow. Most of research areas are focused on process disc overies or process re-engineering while very few of them address the organization aspect. On the other hand, the Agent technology, suitable for the design and development of cooperative systems, offers interaction languages and high-level protocols allowing the representation of fine-grained organizational structures (hierarchy, federation, coalition, market, among others). In this research, we show how to enrich log files in order to integrate conversations among the actors of processes using a performativ e-based agent communication language (FIPA- ACL). This enrichment allows us to define algorithms to discover protocols and organizational structures. The organizational structures are represented by graphs where the nodes are the actors and the arcs relations among them (delegation, cooperation, information exchange, and so on). The interact ion protocols (auction, contract net) are described by Petri nets. We provide event log’ s format representation, protocol execution and some discovery algorithms which were implemented in ProM Framework |
