Workflow process mining is becoming a more and more valuable activity in workflow-supported enterprises, and through which it is possible to achieve the high levels of qualitative business goals in terms of improving the effectiveness and efficiency of the workflow-supported information systems, increasing their operational performances, reducing their completion times with minimizing redundancy times, and saving their managerial costs. One of the critical challenges in the workflow process mining activity is to devise a reasonable approach to discover and recognize the bottleneck points of workflow process models from their enactment event histories. We have intuitively realized the fact that the iterative process pattern of redo-activities ought to have the high possibility of becoming a bottleneck point of a workflow process model. Hence, we, in this paper, propose an algorithmic approach and its implementation to discover the redo-activities and their performers' involvements patterns from workflow process enactment event logs. Additionally, we carry out a series of experimental analyses by applying the implemented algorithm to four datasets of workflow process enactment event logs released from the BPI Challenges. Finally, those discovered redo-activities and their performers' involvements patterns are visualized in a graphical form of information control nets as well as a tabular form of the involvement percentages, respectively.

As the areas of computer application are expanded, real-time application environments that must process as many transactions as possible within their deadlines, such as a stock transaction systems, ATM switching systems etc, have been increased recently. The reason why the conventional database systems can't process soft real-time applications is the lack of prediction and poor performance on processing transaction's deadline. If transactions want to access data stored at the secondary storage, they can not satisfy requirements of real-time applications because of the disk delay time. This paper designs a main-memory database prototype systems to be suitable to real-time applications and then this system can produce rapid results without disk i/o as all of the information are loaded in main memory database. In thesis proposed the improved techniques with respect to logging, checkpointing, and recovering in our environment. In order to improve the performance of the system, a) the frequency of log analysis and redo processing is reduced by the proposed redo technique at system failure, b) database consistency is maintained by improved fuzzy checkpointing. The performance model is proposed which consists of two parts. The first part evaluates log processing time for recovery and compares with other research activities. The second part examines checkpointing behavior.
