摘要

The enhancement of cyclic Petri nets (PN) identified from a set S of event sequences generated by discrete event processes is addressed. The refinement aims to yield a model that accurately describes the sequencing of job execution and represents a low surplus language. A novel method that extends discovery methods for concurrent repetitive processes dealing with long sequences of events that include all variants process behaviour, is presented. Given a PN N and its set of minimal t-invariants Y, the method analyses the execution of the t-components in every sequence in S; it determines patterns of representative transitions SY that schedule the execution of t-components in N. Afterwards, SYi are treated to identify a new PN N’ that uses SY and new places; N’ schedules the occurrence of representative transitions in N. The enhanced model N’’ is obtained by merging the representative transitions of both N and N’.
