Abstract
The IEEE Standards Association (SA) officially published the XES Standard as IEEE Std 1849-2016: IEEE Standard for eXtensible Event Stream (XES) for Achieving Interoperability in Event Logs and Event Streams on 11 November 2016. This standard has been sponsored by the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society (CIS) Standards Committee. Through the XES Standard, event data can be transported from the system where it was generated to the system in which it can be stored and analyzed, without losing semantics. Next to providing a standardized syntax and semantics, the XES Standard also supports the introduction of new extensions to define additional concepts in a flexible manner. The standard allows for the exchange of event data between different process mining tools.
