Towards the Implementation of Heuristics Miner in .Net Framework

Process mining is an interdisciplinary field that bridges the gap between data mining and business process analysis. It revolves around the core concept of leveraging recorded event logs to automate the generation, validation, and refinement of process model. A majority of currently accessible process mining solutions are distributed in form of black box systems - software with no openly accessible source code - or as libraries for scripting languages like Python or R. In this sense, it is necessary to design and build an understandable foundation of a process mining library with the intention of presenting the possibility of incorporating process mining into many programs written in the language or aiding other programmers interested in the potential of such technologies. Therefore, this paper describes and demonstrates the usability of an advanced algorithm for process mining in the .NET platform, namely, the Heuristic miner for process modelling.
