CAIDA The Cooperative Association for Internet Data Analysis

CAIDA investigates practical and theoretical aspects of the Internet in order to:

provide macroscopic insights into Internet infrastructure, behavior, usage, and evolution,
foster a collaborative environment in which data can be acquired, analyzed, and (as appropriate) shared,
improve the integrity of the field of Internet science,
inform science, technology, and communications public policies.

Mission Statement: CAIDA The Cooperative Association for Internet Data Analysis (CAIDA) is an independent analysis and research group based at the University of California's San Diego Supercomputer Center. CAIDA investigates both practical and theoretical aspects of the Internet, with particular focus on:

collection, curation, analysis, visualization, dissemination of sets of the best available Internet data,
providing macroscopic insight into the behavior of Internet infrastructure worldwide,
improving the integrity of the field of Internet science,
improving the integrity of operational Internet measurement and management,
informing science, technology, and communications public policies.

We explore common properties of complex networks in order to find a general mechanism that would support a structural model of the network explaining the connection between network structure and function. Our proposed mechanism relies on the presence of a metric space hidden behind an observable network, referred to as the Hidden Metric Space (HMS).
