Kurzbeschreibung (Abstract)

Due to the growing complexity of processes, regulations, policies and guidelines (e.g., Sarbanes-Oxley-Act) computer-assisted business process analysis - known as process mining - is becoming more and more relevant for organisations. One discipline of process mining is backward compliance checking, which aims to detect non-compliant process variants based on historic data. Most existing approaches compare the "as-is" view with desired process models. However, most organisations do not maintain such models, making such approaches less attractive. This paper proposes a process flow analysis which uses graph-reachability to check whether the actual "as-is" process graph violates compliance constraints. Our approach is inspired by the taint flow algorithm which is used in code analysis to identify security vulnerabilities in software applications. We conducted a case study evaluating the compliance of event logs and performed a benchmark to show that our approach outperforms the LTL checker and the PetriNet pattern approach in ProM.
