We introduce a semi automated approach to synthesize process templates out of compliance requirements expressed in Linear Temporal Logic (LTL). As part of that, we show how general constraints related to business process execution are incorporated. Building upon existing work on process mining algorithms, our approach to synthesize process templates considers not only control-flow, but also data-flow dependencies. Finally, we elaborate …
