Local clustering aims to identify a cluster within a given graph that includes a designated seed node or a significant portion of a group of seed nodes. This cluster should be well-characterized, i.e., it has a high number of internal edges…
Knowledge about which nodes provide services is of critical importance for network administrators. Discovery of service nodes can be done by making full use of duplicate element detection in flows. Because the amount of traffic across…
