To retrieve the non-free choice structure of the process model quickly and precisely

this paper propose a simulated annealing process mining approach to address this issue.Main contribution of the work includes: (1) Apply the simulated annealing approach under the setting of process mining.(2) Represent process model as "causal matrix".(3) Use heuristic rules to select annealing operations.(4) Evaluate the mining result with a quantitative measurement

incorporate the ideas above into existing simulated annealing algorithm to form an integrated solution.We give experimental results which produced by the ProM

a platform for business process mining.
