Inferring the time-varying functional connectivity of large-scale computer networks from emitted events

Antoine Messager, George Parisis, Istvan Z Kiss +3

We consider the problem of inferring the functional connectivity of a large-scale computer network from sparse time series of events emitted by its nodes. We do so under the follow…
