Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 10:
11. A computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions for causing at least one programmable processor of a computing device to:
collect runtime data about the complex system, the complex system comprising a plurality of subcomponents;
identify an abnormal operation in the complex system;
construct a multi-dimensional cause-and-effect relation matrix among the plurality of subcomponents, including assigning weights to each interaction of one of the plurality of subcomponents with respect to other subcomponents of the plurality of subcomponents with respect to each dimension of the multi-dimensional cause-and-effect matrix;
calculate a Most Likely Related Path (MLRP) score for the abnormal operation using the assigned weights;
filter one or more related operations using the calculated MLRP score;
present the filtered one or more operations to a user;
determine if the MLRP score correctly inferred the real trouble area for the abnormal operation; and
in response to the determining, adjust one or more of the assigned weights for one or more of the plurality of dimensions.
