This is the website of COST Action IC0703 "Data Traffic Monitoring and Analysis (TMA): theory, techniques, tools and applications for the future networks" which started on March 2008.
Flower Network Flow Analysis ("Flower") is a suite of applications that are designed to ease the processing and analysis of network flow information. The Flower project will incorporate many features of standard Network Behavior Analysis tools.
The past decade has seen a convergence of social and technological networks, with systems such as the World Wide Web characterized by the interplay between rich information content, the millions of individuals and organizations who create it, and the technology that supports it. This course covers recent research on the structure and analysis of such networks, and on models that abstract their basic properties. Topics include combinatorial and probabilistic techniques for link analysis, centralized and decentralized search algorithms, network models based on random graphs, and connections with work in the social sciences.
