An Algorithm for Mining of Association Rules for the Information Communication Network Alarms Based on Swarm Intelligence

الملخص EN

Due to the centralized management of information communication network, the network operator have to face these pressures, which come from the increasing network alarms and maintenance efficiency.

The effective analysis on mining of the network alarm association rules is achieved by incorporating classic data association mining algorithm and swarm intelligence optimization algorithm.

From the related concept of the information communication network, the paper analyzes the data characteristics and association logic of the network alarms.

Besides, the alarm data are preprocessed and the main standardization information fields are screened.

The APPSO algorithm is proposed on the basis of combining the evaluation method for support and confidence coefficient in the Apriori (AP) algorithm as well as the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm.

By establishing a sparse linked list, the algorithm is able to calculate the particle support thus further improving the performance of the APPSO algorithm.

Based on the test for the network alarm data, it is discovered that rational setting of the particle swarm scale and number of iterations of the APPSO algorithm can be used to mine the vast majority and even all of the association rules and the mining efficiency is significantly improved, compared with Apriori algorithm.
