Abstract

When working with large sets of partial-order event data, typically collected from the execution of a distributed application, it is often desirable to search for specific patterns of events within this data. Such pattern matching must account for attributes on individual events as well as relationships between events and sets of events. In this paper, we propose a method for transforming complex hierarchical patterns into simpler, flattened patterns. This new way of expressing patterns eliminates the need for a costly convex-closure operation at each step in the search process. It also facilitates further optimizations such as re-ordering of pattern elements.
