How to call a ProM plugin without using its GUI

priyanka0912

I want to call CSV to XES plugin and then load its output to Alpha Miner plugin which will give some output. As a user, I should be able to upload a CSV file and in return I should be able to see Alpha Miner output. Please help me through this and let me know the steps I should follow to achieve this.I look forward to hear from you.  Thank you.

If I understand you question correctly, you can have a look at RapidProM http://rapidprom.org. It supports executing multiple process mining algorithms in a predefined chain.

Thanks CongLiu, I am trying to develop a JAVA application that could import a CSV and call ProM plugins to generate output. As per my understanding, I can call ProM plugins using CLI. Can you suggest something that will help me achieve my goal? I look forward to hear from you. Thanks.

I think the simplest way to do so is to implement a new ProM plug-in by combining existing (1) CSVtoXES plug-in; and (2) an existing miner, e.g., Alpha miner. The new plug-in takes a CSV file as input and returns a process model as output.

To do so, you need to have a look at how to create plugins in ProM. see https://www.win.tue.nl/promforum/discussion/629/how-to-create-plug-in-in-prom

Good luck.
