The document discusses several topics in process mining research including predictive process monitoring, prescriptive process monitoring, robotic process mining, data-driven simulation, and causal process mining. It provides references for further research on each topic, with links to relevant papers that outline techniques in each area.
22. Given
• one or more event logs recording the
execution of one or more processes

allocation rules
• a set of allowed changes to the process
model and associated rules
Find
• Possible sets of changes to the process to
optimize the performance measures

Available recording tools (e.g., WinParrot, JitBit) record low-level action only – clickstreams, keystrokes
Although RPA tools (e.g., UI Path, Automation Anywhere) provide recording capabilities they are focused on manual programming of scripts. They do not record values of involved fields, do not capture timestamps, etc.
In UI Path Studio, however, there is a component called UI Explorer, that is similar to our Action Logger, but it works only for Web (supports limited amount of actions), while our tool covers also Excel spreadsheet
