As a member of the process mining and business process management community I have been an active contributor in many events. As one of the initiators of the International Conference on Process Mining in 2019, I served as PC Chair in 2020 and as general chair in 2021.

BPI Workshop

Since 2010, I have co-organized the BPI workshop series. This was the first workshop dedicated to process mining and today it is an annual workshop supported by the IEEE Task Force .

BPI Challenge

The BPI Challenge is a series of challenges, organized from 2010 to 2020. In the challenge, we provide participants with a real-life event log, and we ask them to analyze these data using whatever techniques available. Typically, we provide a number of business questions with the data and was ask participants to focus on these questions.


The participants may report on a broad range of aspects and we strongly encourage people to use any tools, techniques, methods at their disposal. There is no need to restrict to open-source tools, and proprietary tools as well as techniques developed or implemented specifically for this challenge are welcome.


The datasets are published in the 4TU Center for Research Data and have consistently been the most downloaded and referenced datasets in this collection. Datasets on process mining in general make up the full top ten datasets from TU/e.
