Abstract
A computer-implemented method is provided for determining parallel process paths in process data. In a first step, a status hierarchy is generated from process steps stored in a storage means, wherein the process steps are read from the storage means and are added to the status hierarchy, and wherein for each added process step, a predecessor/successor relation is added to at least one further process step to the status hierarchy. In a second step, a process hierarchy of the process instance comprising nodes and edges is deduced from the process steps stored in the status hierarchy and the respective predecessor and/or successor relations.
