Temporal information is increasingly available with network data sets. This information can expose underlying processes in the data via sequences of link activations. Examples range from the propagation of ideas through a scientific collaboration network, to the spread of disease via contacts between infected and susceptible individuals. We focus on the flow of funds through an online financial transaction network, in which given patterns might signify suspicious behaviour. The search for these patterns may be formulated as a temporally constrained subgraph isomorphism problem. We compare two algorithms which use temporal data at different stages during the search, and empirically demonstrate one to be significantly more efficient.
| citations This is an alternative to the "Influence" indicator, which also reflects the overall/total impact of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network (diachronically). | 26 | |
| popularity This indicator reflects the "current" impact/attention (the "hype") of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network. | Top 10% | |

| impulse This indicator reflects the initial momentum of an article directly after its publication, based on the underlying citation network. | Average |
