Abstract
Monitoring is an essential process to observe and improve
the reliability and the performance of large­scale distributed
(LSD) systems. In an LSD environment, a large number of
events is generated by the system components during its exe­
cution or interaction with external objects (e.g. users or pro­
cesses). Monitoring such events is necessary for observing
the run­time behavior of LSD systems and providing status
information required for debugging, tuning and managing
such applications. However, correlated events are generated
