A log file analysis technique using binary-based approach

Log files are an important by product of any computing systems including database systems. They contain a huge amount of historical data. Although many algorithms have been designed to utilize the information stored in such files, many of them can still be further improved in terms of execution time...

Log files are an important by product of any computing systems including database systems. They contain a huge amount of historical data.

In this research paper, a binary-based approach for mining frequency of data items in database transaction log files is introduced.
