Abstract

In this paper we propose a method to pre-process a telecommunication alarm log with the aim of discovering more accurately frequent patterns. In a first step, the alarm types which present the same temporal behavior are clustered with a self organizing map. Then, the log areas which are rich in alarms of the clusters are searched. The sublogs are built based on the selected areas. We will show the efficiency of our preprocessing method through experiments on an actual alarm log from an ATM network.
