Abstract
Artful processes are informal processes typically carried out by those people whose work is mental rather than physical (managers, professors, researchers, engineers, etc.), the so called “knowledge workers”. mailofmine is a tool, the aim of which is to automatically build, on top of a collection of e-mail messages, a set of workflow models that represent the artful processes laying behind the knowledge workers activities. This paper presents its innovative graphical syntax proposal and the interface for representing and showing such mined processes to users.
This work has been partly supported by Sapienza – Università di Roma through the grants FARI 2010 and TESTMED, and by the EU Commission through the FP7 project Smart Vortex. The authors would like also to thank Monica Scannapieco and Diego Zardetto for useful insights and discussions.
