The analysis of large movement datasets is a challenging task, because of their size and spatial complexity. This paper presents an interactive geovisual analytics approach named Hybrid Spatio-Temporal Filtering that integrates filtering of multiple movement characteristics, geovisual representations of the data, and multiple coordinated views to enable analysts to focus on movement patterns th...

In conventional networks, correlating path information to resource utilisation on the granularity of packets is a hard problem when using policy-based traffic handling schemes. We introduce a new approach termed ‘intrinsic monitoring’ which relies on the use of IPv6 extension headers in combination with formal behaviour models to gather resource information along a path. This allows a network m...

The final model consisted of three dimensions or topics, four sub topics, 22 concepts, or constituents, and 79 indices. The input dimension included subtopics of cognitive and behavioral ...

With increasing speed, virulence, and sophistication, self-propagating worms continue to pose a serious threat to the safety of the Internet. To effectively identify and defend against self-propagating worms, a critical task is to characterize a worm along multiple dimensions. Content-based fingerprinting is a well-established dimension for worm characterization by deriving the most representat...
