Nowadays, the bulk of Internet traffic uses TCP protocol for reliable transmission. But the standard TCP's performance is very poor in High Speed Networks (HSN) and hence the core gigabytes links are usually underutilization. This problem…
Path-aware networking (PAN) architectures, such as SCION and emerging LEO constellations, expose tens to hundreds of verifiable paths to endpoints. When multipath protocols like MPTCP and MPQUIC greedily exploit this diversity,…

Signed networks have been a topic of recent interest in the network control community as they allow studying antagonistic interactions in multi-agent systems. Although dynamical characteristics of signed networks have been well-studied,…
We study a graph-theoretic property known as robustness, which plays a key role in certain classes of dynamics on networks (such as resilient consensus, contagion and bootstrap percolation). This property is stronger than other graph…
The behavior of the network and its stability are governed by both dynamics of individual nodes as well as their topological interconnections. Attention mechanism as an integral part of neural network models was initially designed for…
We study structural feature and evolution of the Internet at the autonomous systems level. Extracting relevant parameters for the growth dynamics of the Internet topology, we construct a toy model for the Internet evolution, which includes…
A Network Control System (NCS) consists of control components that interact with the plant over a shared network. The system dynamics of a NCS could be subject to noise arising from randomness in the times at which the data is transmitted…

We investigate the role of connection density in an adaptive network model of chaotic units that dynamically rewire based on their internal states and local coherence. By systematically varying the network's connectivity density, we uncover…
We study the phenomenon of entrainment in processor sharing networks, whereby, while individual network resources have sufficient capacity to met demand, the requirement for simultaneous availability of resources means that a network may…
A networked control system (NCS) consisting of cascaded two-port communication channels between the plant and controller is modeled and analyzed. Towards this end, the robust stability of a standard closed-loop system in the presence of…

It is common knowledge that a key dynamical characteristic of a network is its spectrum (the collection of all eigenvalues of the network's weighted adjacency matrix). In \cite{BW10} we demonstrated that it is possible to reduce a network,…
