Several crucial system design and deployment decisions, including workload management, sizing, capacity planning, and dynamic rule generation in dynamic systems such as computers, depend on predictive analysis of resource consumption. An analysis of the computer components' utilizations and their workloads is the best way to assess the performance of the computer's state. Especially, analyzing the particular or whole influence of components on another component gives more reliable information about the state of computer systems.

However, defining features that lead to highly accurate behavior classification is quite challenging. To address this problem, in this study we aim to classify six main dog activities (standing, walking, running, sitting, lying down, and resting) using high-dimensional sensor raw data.
