Abstract
Workflow mining techniques have recently received remarkable attention because of their ability to assist in the design of complex processes by discovering models according to some log cases, which collected and stored by most information systems. In some situation, there is no model available and need mine it. The paper discuss a novel technique of process model mining based on a large number of logs and represent it in terms of a Petri net. Finally, verify the workflow model based on Petri nets property.
