This exploratory study aims to understand the potential of log data analysis and expand its utilization in user research methods. Transaction log data are records of electronic interactions that have occurred between users and web services, reflecting information-seeking behavior in the context of digital libraries where users interact with the service system during the search for information. Two ways were used to analyze South Korea's National Digital Science Library (NDSL) log data for three days, including 150,000 data: a log pattern analysis, and log context analysis using statistics. First, a pattern-based analysis examined the general paths of usage by logged and unlogged users. The correlation between paths was analyzed through a χ² analysis. The subsequent log context analysis assessed 30 identified users' data using basic statistics and visualized the individual user information-seeking behavior while accessing NDSL. The visualization shows included 30 diverse paths for 30 cases. Log analysis provided insight into general and individual user information-seeking behavior. The results of log analysis can enhance the understanding of user actions. Therefore, it can be utilized as the basic data to improve the design of services and systems in the digital library to meet users' needs.

Recently, web services have been expanded to various areas with the evolution of cloud environment. Whenever a user accesses a web service, the user's log information is stored in the web server. This log information is used as data to analyze the user's web service tendencies and is also used as important data to track the user's system access when a security problem in the system occurs. Currently, most web servers manage user log information in a centralized manner. When user log information is managed in a centralized manner, it is simple in the side of operation, but has a disadvantage of being very vulnerable to external malicious attacks. In the case of centralized management, user log information stored in the web server can be arbitrarily manipulated by external attacks, and in severe cases, the manipulated information can be leaked. In this case, it not only decreases the trust of the web service, but also makes it difficult to trace the source and cause of the attack on the web server. In order to solve these problems, this paper proposes a new method of managing user log information in a cloud environment by applying blockchain technology as an alternative to the existing centralized log management method. The proposed method can manage log information safely from external attacks because user log information is distributed and stored in blockchain on a private network with cloud environment.

This paper presents the effective and detailed secure monitoring method being used based on Secure OS. For this, the detailed secure log of process, object, user's command and database query in task server are collected by 3 kinds of log collecting module. The log collecting modules are developed by ourselves and contained as constituents of security system. Secure OS module collects process and system secure log of objective unit, Backtracker module collects user's command session log, SQLtracker module collects database query in details. When a system auditor monitors and traces the behaviour of specified user or individual user, the mutual connection method between the secure logs can support detailed auditing and monitering effectively.

Web usage mining is a research field for searching potentially useful and valuable information from web log file. Web log file is a simple list of pages that users refer. Therefore, it is not easy to analyze user's current interest field from web log file. This paper presents web usage mining method for finding users' current interest based on fuzzy categories. We consider not only how many times a user visits pages but also when he visits. We describe a user's current interest with a fuzzy interest degree to categories. Based on fuzzy categories and fuzzy interest degrees, we also propose a method to cluster users according to their interests for user modeling. For user clustering, we define a category vector space. Experiments show that our method properly reflects the time factor of users' web visiting as well as the users' visit number.

User activity log includes lots of hidden information, however it is not structured and too massive to process data, so there are lots of parts uncovered yet. Especially, it includes time series data. We can reveal lots of parts using it. But we cannot use log data directly to analyze users' behaviors. In order to analyze user activity model, it needs transformation process through extra framework. Due to these things, we need to figure out user activity model analysis framework first and access to data. In this paper, we suggest a novel framework model in order to analyze user activity model effectively. This model includes MapReduce process for analyzing massive data quickly in the distributed environment and data architecture design for analyzing user activity model. Also we explained data model in detail based on real online service log design. Through this process, we describe which analysis model is fit for specific data model. It raises understanding of processing massive log and designing analysis model.

Web usage mining is the technique of data mining that analyzes web users' usage patterns by large web log. To use the web usage mining technique, we have to classify correctly users and users session in preprocessing, but can't classify them completely by only log files with standard web log format. To classify users and user session there are many problems like local cache, firewall, ISP, user privacy, cookey etc., but there isn't any definite method to solve the problems now. Especially local cache problem is the most difficult problem to classify user session which is used as input in web mining systems. In this paper we propose a heuristic method which solves local cache problem by using only click stream data of server side like referrer log, agent log and access log, classifies user sessions and completes session.

As the concept of web characteristics represented by openness and mind sharing grows more and more popular, device log data generated by both users and developers have become increasingly complicated. For such reasons, a log data processing mechanism that automatically produces meaningful data set from large amount of log records have become necessary for mobile device UX(User eXperience) analysis. In this paper, we define the attributes of to-be-analyzed log data that reflect the characteristics of a mobile device and collect real log data from mobile device users. Along with the MapReduce programming paradigm in Hadoop platform, we have performed a mobile device User eXperience analysis in a distributed processing environment using the collected real log data. We have then demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed analysis mechanism by applying the various combinations of Map and Reduce steps to produce a simple data schema from the large amount of complex log records.

The interest of data mining in artificial intelligence with fuzzy logic has been increased. Data mining is a process of extracting desirable knowledge and interesting pattern ken large data set. Because of expansion of WWW, web data is more and more huge. Besides mining web contents and web structures, another important task for web mining is web usage mining which mines web log data to discover user access pattern. The goal of web usage mining in this paper is to find interesting user pattern in the web with user feedback. It is very important to find user's characteristic fer e-business environment. In Customer Relationship Management, recommending product and sending e-mail to user by extracted users characteristics are needed. Using our method, we extract user profile from the result of web usage mining. In this research, we concentrate on finding association rules and verify validity of them. The proposed procedure can integrate fuzzy set concept and association rule. Fuzzy association rule uses given server log file and performs several preprocessing tasks. Extracted transaction files are used to find rules by fuzzy web usage mining. To verify the validity of user's feedback, the web log data from our laboratory web server.

In this paper, we propose a customer personalized system that presents the web pages to users which are customized to their individuality. It analyzes the action of users who visit the shopping mall, and preferentially supplies the necessary information to them. When they actually buy some items, it forecasts the user's access pattern to web site and their following purchasable items and improves their web page on the bases of their individuality. It reasons the relation among the web documents and among the items by using the log data of web server and the purchase information of DB. For reasoning, it employs Apriori algorithm, which is a method that searches the association rule. It reasons the web pages by considering the user's access pattern and time by using the web log and reasons the user's purchase pattern by using the purchase information of DB. On the basis of the relation among them, it appends the related web pages to link of user's web pages and displays the inferred goods on user's web pages.

As the usage of internet is increasing, a lot of user behavior are written in a log file and the researches and industries using the log files are getting activated recently. This paper uses the Hadoop based on open source distributed computing platform and proposes a customized tourism system by analyzing user behaviors in the log files. The proposed system uses Google Analytics to get user's log files from the website that users visit, and stores search terms extracted by MapReduce to HDFS. Also it gathers features about the sight-seeing places or cities which travelers want to tour from travel guide websites by Octopus application. It suggests the customized cities by matching the search terms and city features. NBP(next bit permutation) algorithm to rearrange the search terms and city features is used to increase the probability of matching. Some customized cities are suggested by analyzing log files for 39 users to show the performance of the proposed system.
