METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR EVALUATION OF A FAULTY BEHAVIOUR OF AT LEAST ONE EVENT DATA GENERATING MACHINE AND/OR MONITORING THE REGULAR OPERATION OF AT LEAST ONE EVENT DATA GENERATING MACHINE

摘要

A method for evaluation of faulty behavior of at least one event-data-generating machine including a data logging device for providing event data, comprising: transferring logged event data, the logged event data representing a sequence of events, from the event-data-generating machines to a central processor, mining multi-dimensional sequential patterns and/or mining multi-dimensional sequential rules and/or mining anomalies and/or exceptions within the transferred event data wherein the event data additionally comprises at least one dimensional attribute holding information indicating the event-data-generating machine or at least one event-data-generating machine property; the difference between timestamps of first and last events included in an identified sequential pattern and/or sequential rule and/or anomaly and/or exception may not exceed a predefined time window; and storing at least one reference sequential pattern, sequential rule and/or anomaly and/or exception as an output of the mined multi-dimensional sequential patterns and/or sequential rules, and/or anomalies and/or exceptions in a central database.
