The proposed research unit – SOURCED – Process Mining on Distributed Event Sources will develop the methodological foundations for novel process mining techniques for distributed event data. Its contributions will leverage online analysis of data from distributed event sources under consideration of infrastructure, data and user concerns.

The research unit brings together expertise from the fields of process management, data and software engineering, distributed systems, and privacy mechanisms. The seven projects in SOURCE address scientific challenges at their intersections and provide a substantial research impact by developing the foundation for the next generation of process mining techniques.
