1. A computer-based method for use in accordance with an event management system, the method comprising the steps of:
- automatically generating one or more event relationship networks from event data, wherein an event relationship network comprises nodes representing events and links connecting correlated nodes; and
utilizing the one or more generated event relationship networks to construct one or more correlation rules for use by a correlation engine in the event management system.

Abstract
Techniques for data-driven validation, completion and construction of event relationship networks (ERNs) are provided. Event relationship networks are widely used in event management system design. To date, ERNs are constructed purely based on human expertise and there is no automatic or event semi-automatic method that validates or completes ERNs. The present invention provides techniques for automatically validating and completing existing ERNs and/or constructing new ERNs, based on collected event data.
