Process Mining On The Web — Flux Capacitor

Process Mining On The Web Anne1 Nov ‘10

Where do you look when you want to stay up to date in all things process mining? I have always found that the process mining community is quite scattered across the web, and it can be difficult to keep track of what is going on.

Here is my list of links that I find useful to stay up to date.

Groups and Discussions

The LinkedIn group on Process Mining is a good place to discuss and share all matters related to process mining. Right now, there are 269 members and if you are not one of them, I strongly encourage you to join the group!
The IEEE Task Force on Process Mining unites a variety of people (see Members page) to promote the research, development, education and understanding of process mining. You can keep an eye on what is happening there on the News and Events pages.
ProM and the Eindhoven-based process mining group have certainly been at the center of the process mining community all along. So, the ProM users mailing list is always a good place to stay up to date and get in touch (see also the archives).
In addition to the mailing list, particularly for technical questions related to ProM 5 and ProM 6, I recommend to use the ProM user forum. Joos Buijs takes great care of the forum, so you can be sure to get a reply if you post a question there¹.
The process mining group at TU/e also keeps a record of process mining-related publications on their wiki here. And you can always search for scientific publications on process mining on Google Scholar or at CiteSeer.

Sandy Kemsly is a well-known BPM tech blogger and also writes about process mining on her Column 2 blog. You can find all process mining-related posts here.
Keith Swenson is the VP of R&D; at Fujitsu America. On his blog you can find process mining posts via the process mining tag.
Paul Harmon has featured articles on process discovery and process mining in his monthly BPTrends Business Advisor. There is no way (that I know) to search for process mining articles, but I highly recommend subscribing to his excellent newsletter if you are interested in BPM.
George Varvaressos, the initiator of the LinkedIn group on Process Mining, shares his work on semantic process mining in his Business Process Mining blog.
Joos Buijs also has a personal blog, where he writes about his PhD and process mining².
Sukriti Goel occasionally blogs about process mining on Infosys’ SETLabs blog. Unfortunately, there is currently no way to subscribe to, or even filter for, her posts.
And of course there is our blog, the Flux Capacitor, where we regularly write about process mining. If you like, you can be notified about new posts via email or RSS reader. This way, you don’t have to check manually whether there is something new.

Process Mining on Twitter

Twitter is a great way to share links and engage in conversations. Use the #processmining hash tag to mark and search for process mining-related tweets.

We at Fluxicon announce new blog posts and other process mining news on our @fluxiconlabs twitter feed.
We keep a public list of process mining people on Twitter that you can follow here.
Casper Stoel keeps a public list of IEEE Task Force members that are on Twitter which you can follow here.

What else?

Do you know other resources, where process mining is one of the continuous topics?³ Please share them in the comments!

On the ProM forum, there is another list of web resources about process mining here. ↩︎
Joos has another overview of process mining web resources here. ↩︎
Note that in this list I did not include all one-time articles ever written on process mining, or introductory material. Such a list would be much longer and could be worthwhile to put together in the future. ↩︎
