Survey on Frequent Pattern Mining Algorithm for Kernel Trace

Kernel tracing facilitates to demonstrate various activities running inside the Operating System. Kernel tracing tools like LTT, LTTng, DTrace, FTrace provide details about processes and their resources but these tools lack to extract knowledge from it. Pattern recognition is a major field of data mining and knowledge discovery. This paper presents a survey of widely used algorithms like Apriori, Tree-projection, FPgrowth, Eclat for finding frequent pattern over the database. This paper presents a comparative study of frequent pattern mining algorithm and suggests that the FP-growth algorithm is suitable for finding patterns in kernel trace data.
