Research and Development of Application-oriented Management Platform

This article summarizes the research activities at Tohoku JGN II Research Center. The main theme of our Research Center is "Research and Development of Application-oriented Management Platform". It consists of three sub themes: (i) Development of network traffic measurements/analysis for ultra high speed and large scale network, (ii) Development of application-oriented management and security techniques, (iii) Development of flexible middleware technique. Network event detection is important for network management, where managers need to know what is happening in their local network. For example, security related incidents, network faults and so on. Our proposed method provides the useful event information, based on multiple traffic monitoring and log mining. We conducted an experiment and evaluated the proposed method using http traffic and logs. The result shows that the event information is enough for the network managers to recognize the contents of network event.
