Description
Summary:Traffic classification is becoming more complex due to proliferations of mobile applications coupled with growing diversity of traffic classes. This motivates the needs for improved traffic classification method that preserve classification accuracy while supporting more traffic classes. This thesis identified domain-specific features that are effective for accurate, large-scale and scalable mobile applications classification using machine learning techniques. This thesis designed a context-aware traffic classification framework that includes a set of sequential algorithms from cleaning datasets, to identifying new features and detecting optimal classifier(s) based on problem contexts to improve classification accuracy in multi-variate traffic classification.
