The telecommunications service industry leads the commerical world in
the amount of data collected to support its business. Historically
these data were collected for billing and engineering purposes. Today
these data are being used to address new tasks in fraud detection,
risk management, and marketing. We discuss a spectrum of applications
that convey the various sizes and shapes of telecommunication data
streams and resulting monitoring systems. A common paradigm has
emerged from these applications and we discuss the implication of this
for developing a high-level programming interface for network data
analysis and monitoring.
Joint work with Rick Becker, Corinna Cortes, and Allan Wilks.
