The individualized modeling of behavior using classical techniques requires too much time and resources to be effective. A possible solution would be the use of pattern recognition techniques to automatically infer models to allow experts to understand individual behavior. However, traditional pattern recognition algorithms infer models that are not readily understood by human experts. This limits the capacity to benefit from the inferred models. Process mining technologies can infer models as workflows, specifically designed to be understood by experts, enabling them to detect specific behavior patterns in users. In this paper, the eMotiva process mining algorithms are presented. These algorithms filter, infer and visualize workflows. The workflows are inferred from the samples produced by an indoor location system that stores the location of a resident in a nursing home. The visualization tool is able to compare and highlight behavior patterns in order to facilitate expert understanding of human behavior. This tool was tested with nine real users that were monitored for a 25-week period. The results achieved suggest that the behavior of users is continuously evolving and changing and that this change can be measured, allowing for behavioral change detection.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s131115434","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,11,11]],"date-time":"2013-11-11T12:41:10Z","timestamp":1384173670000},"page":"15434-15451","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":78,"title":["Process Mining for Individualized Behavior Modeling Using Wireless Tracking in Nursing Homes"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2819-5597","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Carlos","family":"Fern\u00e1ndez-Llatas","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto Universitario de Investigaci\u00f3n de Aplicaciones de las Tecnolog\u00edas de la Informaci\u00f3n y de las Comunicaciones Avanzadas (ITACA).
