wasm4pm — Process Mining for WebAssembly

High-performance process mining algorithms compiled to WebAssembly for browsers and Node.js.

Overview

wasm4pm implements process discovery, conformance checking, and analysis entirely in Rust, compiled to a single WASM binary. No external services, no Python runtime — just npm install.

Features

• 14 discovery algorithms — DFG, Alpha++, ILP, Genetic, PSO, A*, DECLARE, Heuristic Miner, Inductive Miner, Hill Climbing, ACO, Simulated Annealing, Process Skeleton, Optimized DFG
• Streaming/IoT API — ingest events incrementally; memory stays O(open traces), not O(total events)
• Conformance checking — token-based replay with fitness/precision/simplicity metrics
• 20+ analytics functions — variants, bottlenecks, concept drift, clustering, dependencies
• Visualizations — Mermaid diagrams, D3 graphs, HTML reports
• XES + JSON input; PNML, DECLARE, JSON output

Installation

npm install wasm4pm

Quick Start

Node.js (batch)

const pm = require('wasm4pm');
await pm.init();

const logHandle = pm.load_eventlog_from_xes(xesContent);
const dfg = JSON.parse(pm.discover_dfg(logHandle, 'concept:name'));
console.log(`${dfg.nodes.length} activities, ${dfg.edges.length} flows`);

Browser

<script src="node_modules/wasm4pm/pkg/wasm4pm.js"></script>
<script>
  await wasm4pm.init();
  const logHandle = wasm4pm.load_eventlog_from_xes(xesContent);
  const dfg = JSON.parse(wasm4pm.discover_dfg(logHandle, 'concept:name'));
</script>

Streaming (IoT / chunked ingestion)

const pm = require('wasm4pm');
await pm.init();

// Open session — no log held in memory
const handle = pm.streaming_dfg_begin();

// Feed events as they arrive
pm.streaming_dfg_add_event(handle, 'case-1', 'Register');
pm.streaming_dfg_add_event(handle, 'case-1', 'Approve');
pm.streaming_dfg_close_trace(handle, 'case-1'); // frees buffer

// Bulk add
pm.streaming_dfg_add_batch(
  handle,
  JSON.stringify([
    { case_id: 'case-2', activity: 'Register' },
    { case_id: 'case-2', activity: 'Reject' },
  ])
);
pm.streaming_dfg_close_trace(handle, 'case-2');

// Live snapshot (non-destructive)
const dfg = JSON.parse(pm.streaming_dfg_snapshot(handle));

// Finalize: flush remaining open traces, store DFG, return DFG handle
const result = JSON.parse(pm.streaming_dfg_finalize(handle));
console.log(`DFG: ${result.dfg_handle}  (${result.nodes} nodes, ${result.edges} edges)`);
