User Behavior Modeling Method for Mobile Applications Based on Log Mining
Chen San-chua · 2014
This paper presented a user behavior modeling method for mobile applications based on log mining.The method is two-fold,including monitoring instructions instrumentation and UI access modeling.We presented an automatic monitoring instructions instrumentation method that uses static analysis to automatically insert monitoring instructions at the appropriate site in order to dynamically monitor user behavior at run time.We also presented an automata based user behavior modeling method for mobile applications.Information attached to states and transitions of the automata in user behavior model describes transitions between UIs and the usage of each widget within UIs.The test results on real world mobile applications show that this method can both successfully instrument monitoring instructions and effectively obtain the UI access behaviors.
