Argumentation meets Process Mining: An architecture for log interpretation

We consider the scenario where there is an abstraction gap between the “low-level" events composing the traces in a business process log and the “high-level" activities in terms of which the analysts typically reason on the process behavior. We address the online interpretation problem of translating the event that has just been generated within a business process into the step of the activity instance it corresponds to. We present the architecture of a novel tool that models this interpretation problem as a dispute, encoded into an Abstract Argumentation Framework (AAF) [1], and that translates the computation of the valid interpretations, as well of the explanations on why the other interpretations are not valid, into instances of the AAF acceptance problem.
