In optical-processing-enabled network, transitional lightpaths crossing the same node could be optically encoded to each other to achieve greater spectral efficiency. In this context, we present a new research problem, entitled, routing,…
We consider a model of two interdependent networks, where every node in one network depends on one or more supply nodes in the other network and a node fails if it loses all of its supply nodes. We develop algorithms to compute the failure…
The telecommunication networks have become an indispensable part of our everyday life, providing support for such important areas as business, education, health care, finances, entertainment and social life. Alongside their continuous and…
Cascade models on networks have been used extensively to study cascade failure in complex systems. However, most current models consider failure caused by node damage and neglect the possibility of link damage, which is relevant to…
Reconfigurable optical topologies are emerging as a promising technology to improve the efficiency of datacenter networks. This paper considers the problem of scheduling opportunistic links in such reconfigurable datacenters. We study the…
Based upon the idea that network functionality is impaired if two nodes in a network are sufficiently separated in terms of a given metric, we introduce two combinatorial \emph{pseudocut} problems generalizing the classical min-cut and…
This paper considers a multi-source multi-relay network, in which relay nodes employ a coding scheme based on random linear network coding on source packets and generate coded packets. If a destination node collects enough coded packets, it…
We live in a modern world supported by large, complex networks. Examples range from financial markets to communication and transportation systems. In many realistic situations the flow of physical quantities in the network, as characterized…
We present two formal models for the OSPF routing protocol, designed for the model checker Uppaal. The first one is an optimised model of an existing model that allows to check larger network topologies. The second one is a specialised…
This paper investigates the performance of streaming codes in low-latency applications over a multi-link three-node relayed network. The source wishes to transmit a sequence of messages to the destination through a relay. Each message must…
From an architectural perspective with the main goal of reducing the effective traffic load in the network and thus gaining more operational efficiency, optical networks have been essentially remained the same in the recent two decades…
We consider binary systematic network codes and investigate their capability of decoding a source message either in full or in part. We carry out a probability analysis, derive closed-form expressions for the decoding probability and show…
Recent attacks on power grids demonstrated the vulnerability of the grids to cyber and physical attacks. To analyze this vulnerability, we study cyber-physical attacks that affect both the power grid physical infrastructure and its…
In large-scale networks, communication links between nodes are easily injected with false data by adversaries. This paper proposes a novel security defense strategy from the perspective of attack detection scheduling to ensure the security…
Cooperative regenerating codes are designed for repairing multiple node failures in distributed storage systems. In contrast to the original repair model of regenerating codes, which are for the repair of single node failure, data exchange…
This paper considers the downlink traffic from a base station to two different clients. When assuming infinite backlog, it is known that inter-session network coding (INC) can significantly increase the throughput of each flow. However, the…
Transmission line failures in power systems propagate and cascade non-locally. This well-known yet counter-intuitive feature makes it even more challenging to optimally and reliably operate these complex networks. In this work we present a…
Flexible grid Optical Networks provide efficient spectrum utilization by employing the mechanisms to provide flexibility in the optical channel (spectrum slot) sizes. One of the research problems in Flexible grid Optical Networks is their…
Modern IoT (Internet of Things) environments with thousands of low-end and diverse IoT nodes with complex interactions among them and often deployed in remote and/or wild locations present some unique challenges that make traditional node…
In this paper, we design explicit codes for strong coordination in two-node networks. Specifically, we consider a two-node network in which the action imposed by nature is binary and uniform, and the action to coordinate is obtained via a…
