The technique is generally grouped under Social Network Analysis, and there've been some interesting research efforts with it. Kathleen Carley over at CASOS uses the techniques to identify key figures in criminal networks; I have a paper sitting around here somewhere that uses SNA metrics to predict the key figures in conspiracies, and it does a pretty good job of predicting conviction rates in that case.

What Enron case can teach to us... "Email logs can provide advance warning of an organisation reaching crisis point. That's the tantalising suggestion to emerge from the pattern of messages exchanged by Enron employees. After US energy giant Enron collapsed in December 2001, federal investigators obtained records of emails sent by around 150 senior staff during the company's final 18 months. The logs, which record 517,000 emails sent to around 15,000 employees, provide a rare insight into how communication within an organisation changes during stressful times." --clip-- Link: http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg20227135.900-email-patterns-can-predict-impending-doom.html Juha-Matti _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
