A method, device and computer product suitable for performing an analysis on a Grid Computer Network (GCN) is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of representing selected ones of a plurality of components and a relationship among the components in the GCN, providing a mapping between a plurality of events and a plurality of observable events occurring among the components, wherein the mapping is represented as a value associating each event with each observable event, and determining at least one likely causing event based on at least one of the plurality of observable events by determining a measure between each of a plurality of values associated with the plurality of observable events and the plurality of causing events. The step of representing the GCN, comprises the steps of creating at least one non-specific representation of the selected components, wherein the non-specific representations are selected from the group consisting of ComputeElement, GridService and GridServiceInstance, and creating at least one non-specification representation of relations along which the events propagate amongst the selected components, wherein the representations of relations are selected from the group consisting of ComposedOf, Part of, HostedBy, and HostsServices. Also disclosed is an apparatus comprising a processor and a computer program product providing computer instruction to a computing system for executing the method steps described herein.
