Title: A Workflow Event Logging Mechanism and Its Implications on Quality of Workflows

Particularly, in the QOW issues such as work flow knowledges/intelligence, workflow validations, workflow verifications, workflow mining and workflow rediscovery problems, the toughest challenging and the m ost impeccable issue is the workflow knowledge m ining and discovery problems that are based upon workflow enactment event history information logged by workflow engines equipped with a certain logging mechanism. Therefore, having an efficient event logging m echanism is the most valuable as well as A and Ω of those QOW issues and solutions. In this paper, we propose a workflow enactment event logging mechanism supporting three types of event log information ― workcase event type, activity event type and workite m event type, and descr ibe the im plementation details of the mechanism so as to be embedded into the e-Chautauqua system that has been recently developed by the CTRL research group as a very large scale workflow management system. Finally, we summarize the implications of the mechanism and its log information on workflow knowledge mining and discovery techniques.Read More
