A Mobile ad hoc Network or MANET is a wireless network of mobile devices that has the ability to self-configure and self-organise and is characterised by an absence of centralised administration and network infrastructure. An appreciable…
In the study of small and large networks it is customary to perform a simple random walk, where the random walker jumps from one node to one of its neighbours with uniform probability. The properties of this random walk are intimately…
MANET is a collection of mobile devices with no centralized control and no pre-existing infrastructures. Due to the nodal mobility, supporting QoS during routing in this type of networks is a very challenging task. To tackle this type of…

An anonymous dynamic network is a network of indistinguishable processes whose communication links may appear or disappear unpredictably over time. Previous research has shown that deterministically computing an arbitrary function of a…
We consider \emph{plurality consensus} in a network of $n$ nodes. Initially, each node has one of $k$ opinions. The nodes execute a (randomized) distributed protocol to agree on the plurality opinion (the opinion initially supported by the…
A fundamental premise of statistical physics is that the particles in a physical system are interchangeable, and hence the state of each specific component is representative of the system as a whole. This assumption breaks down for complex…
The different routing protocols in Mobile Ad hoc Networks take after various methodologies to send the data starting from one node then onto the next. The nodes in the system are non-static and they move arbitrarily and are inclined to…
Counting the frequencies of 3-, 4-, and 5-node undirected motifs (also know as graphlets) is widely used for understanding complex networks such as social and biology networks. However, it is a great challenge to compute these metrics for a…
Crowd management is of paramount importance when it comes to preventing stampedes and saving lives, especially in a countries like China and India where the combined population is a third of the global population. Millions of people convene…
Anonymous Dynamic Networks is a harsh computational environment due to changing topology and lack of identifiers. Computing the size of the network, a problem known as Counting, is particularly challenging because messages received cannot…
Most of the prior work in massively parallel data processing assumes homogeneity, i.e., every computing unit has the same computational capability, and can communicate with every other unit with the same latency and bandwidth. However, this…
Crowd counting is the task of estimating people numbers in crowd images. Modern crowd counting methods employ deep neural networks to estimate crowd counts via crowd density regressions. A major challenge of this task lies in the…
The dominant dynamics of sensor networks consist of using the energy of the sensor nodes to create the topology of hierarchical clustering using topology control protocols. The topology thus created will always have optimum number of nodes…
