Abstract
Patterns of change in system operating parameters are identified which may be used to identify unexpected operational conditions and to trigger an appropriate alert or action. A network is controlled using operating data for the network. Network operating data is received and divided into sequential time periods. A structural description such as an association rule is determined for the received data in each time period and a change pattern in the determined structural description is identified over the time periods. The network is then controlled using a predetermined action corresponding to a predetermined structural description change pattern in response to the identified structural description change pattern matching the predetermined structural description change pattern.
