Logs generation for process mining on a workflow model

Question

I have a workflow model in paper format and i want to check its working in ProM, (the software for process mining). As ProM takes Event logs as input. But i have not event logs of that workflow model. How can i generate logs form that workflow model so that i may use them as input to Prom and generate PetriNet from it.

What I have tried:

1. Technique mentioned here was tried by me, it uses CPN tools, but it only executes first transition of petrinet to generate logs from model. Only series of number are being generated
2. Process Log Generator was also tried by me. But it generates random logs

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

You can design your Petri net using WoPeD. After that import the Petri net to ProM. Finally there are some simulation plugins that you can use them to simulate your event log e.g, "Perform a simple simulation of a (stochastic) petri net". Note that you should put a token in the source of the Petri net.

Answer 2

You can simply put activities and case-Id in a csv file and give it to ProM. For example, the following event log is corresponding to 4 cases.

case,event
1,g
1,m
1,b
1,d
1,a
1,e
2,c
2,d
2,a
2,n
2,d
2,a
2,e
3,c
3,a
3,d
3,e
4,g
4,m
4,b
4,a
4,d
4,n
4,a
4,d
4,e
5,c
