Abstract

In this paper we present an approach for searching sub-traces in event logs, generated by information systems. Our technique is heavily based on the Aho-Corasick algorithm, and extends it with simultaneous search on several event log traces. The computational complexity of the proposed approach was estimated. Moreover, the approach was implemented and verified on real-life event logs. It was shown that it allows to reduce the search time for event logs with a high proportion of similar traces.
