*** Workshop Scope ***
**************************
Welcome to the Second ACM SIGCOMM Workshop on Mining Network Data
Todays IP networks are extensively instrumented for collecting a
wealth of
information including traffic traces (e.g., packet or flow level
traces),
control (e.g., router forwarding tables, BGP and OSPF updates), and
management (e.g., alarms, SNMP traps) data. The real challenge is to
process
and analyze this vast amount of primarily unstructured information and
extract structures, relationships, and higher level knowledge
embedded in it
and use it to aid network management and operations. The goal of this
one
day workshop is to explore new directions in network data collection,
storage, and analysis techniques, and their application to network
monitoring, management, and remediation. The workshop will provide a
venue
for researchers and practitioners from different backgrounds, including
networking, data mining, machine learning, and statistics, to get
together
and collaboratively approach this problem from their respective vantage
points.

Title: On the Infrastructure for Network Data Mining: Concepts and
Experiences.
Speaker: S. (Muthu) Muthukrishnan, Google.
Keynote Abstract:
A lot of focus on network data mining has been on "what",
that is, what analyses reveal interesting phenomena and prove
useful. This includes statistical analyses, model building and
parameter estimation, matching signatures and machine learning.
In this talk, the focus will be on the "how", that is,
how to design, build and use the infrastructure for supporting
a rich variety of mining tasks. The talk will discuss
--- the system architectures (Gigascope, CMON, Narus, MapReduce),
--- query languages and optimization (GSQL, User-defined functions,
Sawzall), and
--- algorithms (streaming, approximate)
that form the infrastructure in large ISPs and web search companies.
The talk will also discuss experiences with cellular, IP and web data,
our successes thus far, and the challenges.
