Claim One:
1. A computer-implemented method for monitoring a dynamic cloud network, the computer-implemented method comprising: generating, by a computer, a set of predicted network topology snapshot graphs that estimate locations of a set of mobile nodes in the dynamic cloud network based on a set of network topology prediction models predicting a topology of the set of mobile nodes comprising the dynamic cloud network; selecting, by the computer, a subset of mobile nodes from the set of mobile nodes comprising the dynamic cloud network as monitors in the set of predicted network topology snapshot graphs of the dynamic cloud network so that each link in a set of selected network links is identifiable using end-to-end measurements between the monitors; monitoring, by the computer, the set of selected network links in the dynamic cloud network using the end-to-end measurements between the monitors; determining, by the computer, network states of interest in the set of selected network links within a selected time window based on the monitoring of the end-to-end measurements between the monitors; and reconfiguring, by the computer, the dynamic cloud network based on the network states of interest in the set of selected network links being greater than or equal to predefined network state threshold values during a time period corresponding to the selected time window.
