Abstract (EN): Dynamic (or volatile) network: A network which structure changes over time, some nodes and edges may appear and disappear Local property: A metric that describes a topological aspect on the local neighborhood of a node Structural role: The structural position of a node in the network, characterized by its local properties Transition pattern: A typical role change, characterized by its time interval and by the origin and destination role Definition Many networks are intrinsically dynamic and change over time. These networks can be very volatile, with a significant number of edges and nodes appearing and disappearing. The majority of the existing network mining methodologies are however geared toward a more static scenario, with a single graph describing the topology of the system being analyzed. There is still a need for measurements and tools that allow the temporal dimension on network analysis to be¿.
