Data Science is booming ! However, an important question is how to leverage the vast repositories of raw data in a smart way. A recent research area which has been gaining rapid traction in the enterprise is that of process mining. Process mining is all about events and flows.

This workshop will explain you the key fundamentals of process mining: participants will learn the difference between process discovery, conformance checking and enhancement, and will learn through hands-on excercises how to get started right away using real-life event data. Moreover a number of  real-life case studies will be presented to give you a head start towards applying process mining in your own application domain.
