Abstract

Process mining mainly focuses on analyzing a single process that runs through an organization. Often organisations consist of multiple departments that need to work together to deliver a process. ArchiMate introduced the Business Process Cooperation Viewpoint for this. However, such models tend to focus on modeling design time, and not the runtime behavior. Additionally, many approaches exist to analyze multiple departments in isolation, or the social network they form, but the cooperation between processes received little attention.
In this paper we take a different approach by analyzing the runtime execution data to create a new visualization technique to uncover cooperation between departments by means of the Runtime Enterprise Architecture using process mining techniques. By means of a real-life case study at a large logistic organization, we apply the presented approach.
