A Graph-Theoretic Approach to Enterprise Network Dynamics
Networks have become nearly ubiquitous and increasingly complex, and their support of modern enterprise environments has become fundamental. Accordingly, robust network management techniques are essential to ensure optimal performance of these networks. T

Preface
In this monograph, we describe the application of many graph-theoretic algorithms to a comprehensive environment of analysis of dynamic enterprise networks. Networks are ubiquitous, increasingly complex, and dynamic. Since they are part of all aspects of human life, their support of modern enterprise environments is paramount. Enterprises in general are becoming more information-based, and proper networking support depends on optimal performance management of all intranets involved in populating information and knowledge databases. Among other parameters, network dynamics analysis yields valuable information about network performance, efficiency, fault prediction, cost optimization, indicators, and warnings. After many years of applied research of generic network dynamics, we have decided to write a chronicle of our investigations to date with emphasis on enterprise networks. The motivation was two-fold: first, we wanted to convey to practitioners involved in network analysis a number of elegant applications of tradition
