Similar links are available for software trace analysis patterns and their case studies. Actually there are parallels between some software trace patterns and memory dump patterns. For example, stack traces can be analyzed using some trace analysis patterns. The patterns we propose are general and not tied to a specific product. Because I used to analyze software traces with millions of lines and with messages from hundreds of components where most of them were completely unfamiliar for me (and I had never seen underlying source code) I proposed very general ones that can be used even for network traces.
