AUTOMATIC DETECTION OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF CHANGES IN A BUSINESS PROCESS
First Claim
1. A system, comprising:
- a transformer for receiving a plurality of process graphs for a business process corresponding to a set of related tasks for a specified goal and transforming each of the plurality of process graphs into a respective one of a plurality of matrices, each of the plurality of matrices comprising a plurality of real-values representing transition probabilities between different ones of the related tasks; and
a change detector for performing at least one change detection process on respective spectrums of the plurality of process graphs, as represented by Eigenvalues of the plurality of matrices, to detect at least one of when a change occurs in the business process and a degree of the change.

Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for the automatic detection of different types of changes in a business process. A system includes a transformer for performing a transformation on data derived from process traces or models extracted from the processes traces to generate transformed data. The process traces are for a business process corresponding to a set of related tasks for a specified goal. Each of the models has at least a transition matrix of dimension N×N, where N is a total number of the related tasks. The system further includes a change detector for performing change detection on the transformed data to identify at least one of when a change occurs in the business process and a degree of the change.
