# 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
- **15 discovery algorithms** — DFG, Alpha++, ILP, Genetic, PSO, A\*, DECLARE, Heuristic Miner, Inductive Miner, Hill Climbing, ACO, Simulated Annealing, Process Skeleton, Optimized DFG, SIMD Streaming 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

### ML Analysis Algorithms (Criterion measured)
| `ml_classify` | O(n·k) per prediction | k-NN k=3 | `naive_bayes` variant is O(1) per sample |
| `ml_regress` | O(n) fit | OLS, single-pass | Closed-form least squares |
| `ml_forecast` | O(n) fit | Exponential smoothing α=0.3 | Single-pass decomposition |
| `ml_anomaly` | O(n) score | Information-theoretic | Includes EMA smoothing |
| `ml_pca` | O(n) fit | Closed-form 2×2 eigendecomposition | Jacobi iterations |
| `ml_cluster` | O(n·k·i) | bitset k-means | ⚠️ **internal only — not yet exported to the JS API** |
> Note: `ml_cluster` is implemented in `fast_discovery.rs` but has no `#[wasm_bindgen]`
> export and is not callable from JavaScript or the CLI.

## Installation
```bash
npm install wasm4pm
```
## Quick Start
### Node.js (batch)
```javascript
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
```html
<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)
```javascript
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)`);
```
