A survey on event log extraction from blockchain

To address the traceability challenges associated with inter-organizational business processes enactment, one potential solution is to rely on the blockchain technology . In such cases, establishing process traceability requires analyzing and leveraging blockchain logs. In order to contribute to the discourse on this issue, this paper presents a comprehensive review of existing literature conducted to explore the multifaceted landscape of traceability in business processes. The review synthesizes a diverse range of studies focusing on the use of blockchain logs. These logs not only capture individual events but also offer valuable insights into the entities involved in these processes . Researchers studied these entities using process mining techniques to unravel their complex lifecycles. Finally, this review of the literature has led to the identification of two categories of logs that can be linked with traceability within blockchain technology.
