About this title

Synopsis

Software Narratology, the science of software stories, found its successful application in software diagnostics of abnormal software behavior, especially in the pattern-oriented analysis of software logs from complex systems with millions of events, thousands of threads, hundreds of processes and modules. This is a revised and updated transcript of the Software Diagnostics Services seminar on the new application of software narratology to malware analysis.
