Abstract

Embodiments relate to a method, system, and computer program product for a process model. The method includes extracting data associated with a process execution trace of a running process and extracting any prior knowledge data relating to the running process. The method also includes calculating at least one transition confidence parameter for the prior knowledge data; and identifying any existing process models relating to the running process. A confidence trace bias is also generated for any existing process model identified. An enhanced bias value is then calculated by combining the confidence trace bias value and value of the transition confidence parameter. Using as input the extracted process execution trace data, the prior knowledge data, the identified existing model and the enhanced bias value, a learned process model is then generated.
