Interface ProcessHandler

All Known Implementing Classes:

UniversalAIXProcessHandler, UniversalLinuxProcessHandler, UniversalMacOSXProcessHandler, UniversalSolarisProcessHandler, UniversalZOSProcessHandler

public interface ProcessHandler

Because process mining is system-specific, this interface abstracts out the work from the UniversalProcessMiner, and allows system-specific classes to take care of the work individually.
