Dear Friends,
I have a biginner question. Is "Software Process Mining" different with "Process Mining"? If that's right, What is the difference of "Process Mining" and "Software Process Mining"?
I read some papers but I cant understand what is the the difference of them!
Please tell me if you know
Thanks alot

    Hi Mousavi,

    Could you refer to some of the papers you read for clarification?

    My first hunch is that 'software process mining' is process mining applied on software (development).

    Hi Joos Buijs,
    I read
    1.  "Activity Mining for Discovering Software Process Models" ,authors :Ekkart Kindler, Vladimir Rubin, Wilhelm Sch¨afer"
    2. "Process Mining Framework for Software Processes" ,authors : Vladimir Rubin1,2, Christian W. G¨unther1, Wil M.P. van der Aalst1,Ekkart Kindler2, Boudewijn F. van Dongen1, and Wilhelm Sch¨afer2
    and some other papers on this subject from these authors
    They mentioned that the algorithm is specially for software processes , and because of that I am curious , Is "Software Process Mining" different with "Process Mining"?

    Well, in my opinion the 2nd paper you mentioned clearly explains what 'software process mining' is: applying process mining techniques to analyze the process of developing software. Using software repositories, communications, etc. etc.
    The following master thesis discusses an implementation of software process mining:http://www.frasr.org/downloads/2010-08-20_ThesisWouterPoncin.pdf

    the process of developing software is a kind of process , and I think the algorithm of  software process mining can use as a process mining algorithm , or maybe it should change to use as a process mining algorithm.
    what is your idea?

    you know in the 2nd paper ,they mention that  the algorithm is specially for software processes ,I'm hesitated

    I think that they developed a specific way of importing and combining the data to create a standard event log. Then they were able to apply existing process mining techniques/algorithms
