NetEst
A desktop computer investigative tool that estimates the size and structure of networked and cellular organizations from disparate data sources. - Utilization of Bayesian updating and machine learning techniques to estimating the shape of hidden networks among people - Matthew Dombroski (chairs Paul Fishbeck and Kathleen M. Carley), paper won best student paper award in 2002 CASOS conference.
- VISTA
