Do you believe you have implemented a good discovery algorithm? Then submit it to the PDC 2027 to put it to the test! The Process Discovery Contest (PDC) is dedicated to the assessment of tools and techniques that discover business process models from event logs. The objective is to compare the efficiency of techniques to Read More …
A new version of the Xcavate ProM plugin has been released in version 6.16.65 of the DiSCover package. First, this new release fixes some issues with the token-based replay: Second, the fitness value returned from the token-based replay has been changed slightly: If possible, it will first add 1 to both missing and remaining and Read More …

The data set of the Process Discovery Contest of 2025 (PDC 2025) has now been disclosed. It contains the following five folders (in ZIP archives): A trace from the Test log is classified against the corresponding trace from the Base log. If the trace from the Test log fits the model (strict) better than then Read More …
On August 22, 2025, version 6.15.58 has been released. Among other things, this version allows the user to discover two types of additional places: occurrence places and equivalence places. We use the event log pdc2024_00000100.xes from the PDC 2024 data set to explain the additional places. First, we show the original model, that is, the Read More …
