Abstract
A method for identifying dependencies between network applications includes determining, from the network traffic or the network traffic metadata, counts indicating numbers of times that applications residing on the web servers are contacted after the same and other applications residing on the web servers and computing, using the counts and for each of the applications, a contact probability. The method further includes computing, using the counts and for each of the applications, an observed probability indicating a likelihood that the application will be contacted after another of the applications, and computing, from the contact probabilities and the observed probabilities, application dependency scores for pairs of the applications. The method further includes using the application dependency scores to determine relationships between the applications in the pairs of applications.
