Abstract
AI planning plays a crucial role in the design and optimization of business processes, providing optimal plans, i.e., sequence of activities, based on manually crafted or formally documented rules. When these plans are executed in business processes, the supporting information systems record a wealth of event data. Analyzing such event data facilitates understanding implicit patterns and recommendations that have the potential to refine planning strategies significantly. In this paper, we introduce a systematic approach to mining these recommendations from event data and integrating them into AI planning, thus creating plans that are informed by both the regulatory hard rules and the flexibility of soft recommendations.
