How to develop a process mining plugin based on the input of ProM import plugin

张志幸

I have download the source code of ProM and have read the implementation of some business process mining strategy such as IM. I am confused by how to make use of the imported log. I read the source code and find that there is only the jar file of xes without the specific implementation. Can anyone tell me some key information? Thanks.

Hi 张志幸,

Thanks for your question.
I think the easier way for a ProM beginner to develop a plugin is to modify an existing plugin with your own staff. For instance, after you download the latest ProM, e.g., ProM 6.6,  you can (1)  identify an existing plugin similar to what you want to develop, (2) find the corresponding source package and code of the plugin (when you click one plugin in ProM, you can see the pakcage where it is from and the source codes of all packages can be found here https://svn.win.tue.nl/repos/prom/Packages/), and (3) modify the name and functions of the plugin with your staff.

Good luck.

Hi all,

Nice to read that you want to start contributing to ProM!

Maybe these resources can help you (before you try to deduce the plug-in structure from existing plug-ins):
https://svn.win.tue.nl/trac/prom/wiki/Workshop
https://svn.win.tue.nl/trac/prom/wiki/Packs
https://svn.win.tue.nl/trac/prom/wiki/Plugins (also explains the separation between import/export, visualization and 'action' plug-ins).

Hope this helps!
