This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the Fourth International Symposium on Data-Driven Process Discovery and Analysis held in Riva del Milan, Italy, in November 2014. The five revised full papers were carefully selected from 21 submissions. Following the event, authors were given the opportunity to improve their papers with the insights they gained from the symposium. During this edition, the presentations and discussions frequently focused on the implementation of process mining algorithms in contexts where the analytical process is fed by data streams. The selected papers underline the most relevant challenges identified and propose novel solutions and approaches for their solution.
