However, modern Industrial Internet of Things systems increasingly operate over distributed, resource-constrained edge-cloud infrastructures. This paper proposes a structured approach for decentralizing process mining by enabling event data to be mined directly within the IoT systems edge-cloud continuum. We introduce ContinuumConductor a layered decision framework that guides when to perform process mining tasks such as preprocessing, correlation, and discovery centrally or decentrally. Thus, enabling privacy, responsive and resource-efficient process mining. For each step in the process mining pipeline, we analyze the trade-offs of decentralization versus centralization across these layers and propose decision criteria. We demonstrate ContinuumConductor at a real-world use-case of process optimazition in inland ports. Our contributions lay the foundation for computing-aware process mining in cyber-physical and IIoT systems.","short_abstract":"Process mining traditionally assumes centralized event data collection and analysis.
