To understand the controllability of complex networks is a forefront problem relevant to different fields of science and engineering. Despite recent advances in network controllability theories, an outstanding issue is to understand the…

The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) was designed to provide reliable transport services in wired networks. In such networks, packet losses mainly occur due to congestion. Hence, TCP was designed to apply congestion avoidance techniques…

Today's Internet utilizes a multitude of different protocols. While some of these protocols were first implemented and used and later documented, other were first specified and then implemented. Regardless of how protocols came to be, their…

Security protocols are building blocks in secure communications. They deploy some security mechanisms to provide certain security services. Security protocols are considered abstract when analyzed, but they can have extra vulnerabilities…

We propose communication pattern logic. A communication pattern describes how processes or agents inform each other, independently of the information content. The full-information protocol in distributed computing is the special case…

Contagion processes on networks, including disease spreading, information diffusion, or social behaviors propagation, can be modeled as simple contagion, i.e. involving one connection at a time, or as complex contagion, in which multiple…

Traditional methods for crawling and parsing web applications predominantly rely on extracting hyperlinks from initial pages and recursively following linked resources. This approach constructs a graph where nodes represent unstructured…

Collaboration models and tools aim at improving the efficiency and effectiveness of human interactions. Although social relations among collaborators have been identified as having a strong influence on collaboration, they are still…

In this paper, we develop a signal processing framework of a network without explicit knowledge of the network topology. Instead, we make use of knowledge on the distribution of operators on the network. This makes the framework flexible…

Interaction networks, consisting of agents linked by their interactions, are ubiquitous across many disciplines of modern science. Many methods of analysis of interaction networks have been proposed, mainly concentrating on node degree…

We define the Streaming Communication model that combines the main aspects of communication complexity and streaming. We consider two agents that want to compute some function that depends on inputs that are distributed to each agent. The…

Many transport processes on networks depend crucially on the underlying network geometry, although the exact relationship between the structure of the network and the properties of transport processes remain elusive. In this paper we…

Graph signal processing is a framework to handle graph structured data. The fundamental concept is graph shift operator, giving rise to the graph Fourier transform. While the graph Fourier transform is a centralized procedure, distributed…
