Process mining methods have been successfully applied to logs of business process execution recorded by transactional IT systems, with the goal of analyzing and improving organizational productivity along performance dimensions such as efficiency, quality, compliance, and risk. Moreover, such methods are being increasingly used - with an interdisciplinary perspective - in other application domains beyond those related to business processes, such as in the context of distributed ledger technologies (DLT), robotic process automation (RPA), and Internet-of-Things (IoT). This Special Issue aims at providing a high-quality forum for interdisciplinary researchers and practitioners to exchange research findings and ideas on process mining and its applications.  We invite you to submit to this Special Issue on “Process Mining and Emerging Applications”, with subjects covering the whole range from theory to applications. The following is a (non-exhaustive) list of topics of interests:
