Pulse Research Review 2024: A Holistic Approach to Investigating Internet Outages, Mike Vandersanden

This 2024 Pulse Research Fellowship project aimed to develop a measuring system that uses a holistic approach to analyzing and understanding Internet outage data. It combined various data sources that measure the Internet differently, giving numerous perspectives and data points that describe the same entity.

Outcomes:
Developed a tool to merge multiple heterogeneous datasets about Internet outages.
The system automatically retrieves the outage events from annotated data sources.
The system allows users to choose which data sources to use for anomaly detection and shows where anomalous behaviors occur in the time series.
