Abstract. The functional architecture focuses on decomposing functionality into modules that oﬀer certain features. These features require interactions in order to complete their functionality. However, functional architectures typically only focus on the static aspects of the system design. Additional modeling techniques, such as message sequence charts are often used in the early phases of software design to indicate how the software should behave. In this paper we investigate the use of process discovery techniques to discover from these scenarios the internal behavior of individual components. Based on event logs, this paper presents an approach (1) to derive the information ﬂows between features, (2) identify the internal behavior of features, and (3) to discover the order between features within a module. The approach results in a sound workﬂow model for each module. We illustrate the approach using a running example of a payment system.
