基于受控日志的过程挖掘及优化

基于受控日志的过程挖掘及优化摘要

受控日志是指在软件系统运行时通过记录系统操作行为和运行状态等信息的方式得到的日志文件。基于受控日志的过程挖掘及优化是利用受控日志文件中的信息，对软件系统的运行过程进行挖掘，识别其中的业务过程或工作流程，并进行优化。该方法可以提高软件系统的运行效率和质量，降低开发和维护成本，增强系统的可维护性和可扩展性。

本文首先介绍了受控日志的概念及其记录方式，然后详细阐述了基于日志的过程挖掘技术，主要包括日志预处理、过程识别、过程可视化等环节，并对各环节的算法进行说明。接着，本文针对过程挖掘过程中的效率问题，提出了一种基于模型检索的优化方法，通过利用模型库中已有的模型信息，减少重复挖掘的过程，从而节省时间和资源。最后，本文讨论了该方法的局限性和未来研究方向。
