Workshop on Application Classification and Identification

The Internet Measurement Research Group (IMRG) held a one day workshop on the topic of application identification and classification at BBN Technologies on October 3, 2007. The topic of application identification has numerous applications from traffic management to provisioning to security monitoring. A range of researchers with a variety of backgrounds attended the workshop to further the discussion on the topic. The abstracts, presentation slides and workshop report are being made available in hopes of broadening the discussion within the wider community.

The workshop report is available here.
