A discovery method of organization structure model based on causal similarity in BPMS

Team organization structure is more suitable for implementation of e-business. However the existing organizational structure modeling methods are difficult to model team structure. In business process management system (BPMS) there are a large number of event logs recording the performers and corresponding activities. Usually if the causality of performers is similar, they can be classified as a same team. Therefore this paper designs a modeling method of team organization structure based on causal similarity among performers from event logs in BPMS. Firstly, the causality mining rules are designed; secondly, the measures of the causal similarity among performers are given; at last, a team organization structure can be modeled based on causal similarity.
