Abstract
Methods and arrangements for identifying and characterizing subgraphs of a network. In a network comprising a plurality of nodes and edges, there is identified a subgraph including a plurality of nodes. Communication workload closure of the subgraph is calculated via: identifying and counting all length-paths in the network that include at least one of the nodes of the subgraph, each length-path including three nodes and two edges interconnecting the three nodes; for each of the length-paths, determining whether all three nodes belong to the subgraph; thereupon identifying and counting a subset of the length-paths wherein, for each path in the subset, all three nodes of the path belong to the subgraph; and dividing the number of paths in the subset by the total number of length-paths that include at least one of the nodes of the subgraph. Other variants and embodiments are broadly contemplated herein.
