The present invention provides strategies for detecting intrusions in wireless environments, and the strategies are based on innovative applications of information analysis as well as other information correlating techniques. The key to detecting intrusions in a RF based environment is to understand the normal spectrum of behavior so that deviations can be detected and analyzed. For a wireless communications grid, this process requires empirical knowledge about how the radios work together as components of the information grid, and how this grid network is managed. Once normal behavior has been characterized, anomalous behavior can be identified. Potential intrusions into the wireless network can be analyzed and an attack model can be created. The attack model can be utilized as the basis for initiating appropriate adaptive responses.

The present invention combines a data processing structure with a graphical user interface (GUI) to create an information analysis tool wherein multiple functions are combined in a network to extract information from multiple data sources. The functional network is created, and graphically represented to the user, by linking individual operations together. The combination of individual operations is not limited by the input or output characteristic of any single operation. The form of the input to or output from a by individual operation, whether from a database or from another operation, is the same. That is, both the input to and the output from an analysis function is a list of document identifiers and corresponding document characteristics. Because the form of the input and output from each operation is the same, arbitrary combinations into of operations may be created. Moreover, functional networks of individual operations can then be used for database retrieval as well as to filter data streams. Furthermore, the user is able to create a visual representation of the structure forming a functional network which may be dynamically updated as new data is added or functions switched in or out. Because, inter alia, the network structure dynamically responds to information as it is presented to the network, the visual representation of the network conveniently provides the user with information concerning the characteristics of the database or stream of data that are substantially unavailable through conventional search, filtering, or clustering techniques alone.
