This article provides a taxonomy of current and past network modeling efforts. In all these efforts over the last few years we see a trend towards not only describing the network, but connected devices as well. This is especially current…
Many hierarchically modular systems are structured in a way that resembles an hourglass. This "hourglass effect" means that the system generates many outputs from many inputs through a relatively small number of intermediate modules that…
Because of the speed, flexibility, and efficiency that it offers, the Internet has become the means for conducting growing numbers of transactions between suppliers and large international corporations. In this way, the Internet has opened…
We study a system of interacting renewal processes which is a model for neuronal activity. We show that the system possesses an exponentially large number (with respect to the number of neurons in the network) of limiting configurations of…
The development of Internet wide resources for general purpose parallel computing poses the challenging task of matching computation and communication complexity. A number of parallel computing models exist that address this for traditional…
Recommender systems are a critical component of e-commercewebsites. The rapid development of online social networking services provides an opportunity to explore social networks together with information used in traditional recommender…
Even though machine learning algorithms already play a significant role in data science, many current methods pose unrealistic assumptions on input data. The application of such methods is difficult due to incompatible data formats, or…
Hourglass networks such as the U-Net and V-Net are popular neural architectures for medical image segmentation and counting problems. Typical instances of hourglass networks contain shortcut connections between mirroring layers. These…
The Internet stack is not a complete description of the resources and services needed to implement distributed applications, as it only accounts for communication services and the protocols that are defined to deliver them. This paper…
Considered in the paper is the overlaid nature of modern telecommunication networks and expediency of usage the multi-layer graph model for its design. General statement of design problem is given. The design method in general using…
The availability of interaction devices has raised interest in techniques to support the user interface (UI). A UI specification describes the functions that a system provides to its users by capturing the interface details and includes…
This paper presents some preliminary results concerning a new user-friendly operating system interface based on the relational data model that is currently under development at the University of Texas at Austin. The premise of our work is…
With the development of Internet technology, the Web is becoming more and more important in our lives so that it has even become an essential element. The application of the Web has never been limited to computers; it has been opened to all…
The Transformer architecture has become increasingly popular over the past two years, owing to its impressive performance on a number of natural language processing (NLP) tasks. However, all Transformer computations occur at the level of…
The Internet of intelligence is conceived as an emerging networking paradigm, which will make intelligence as easy to obtain as information. This paper provides an overview of the Internet of intelligence, focusing on motivations,…
The study of networks has witnessed an explosive growth over the past decades with several ground-breaking methods introduced. A particularly interesting -- and prevalent in several fields of study -- problem is that of inferring a function…
Despite its great importance, modern network infrastructure is remarkable for the lack of rigor in its engineering. The Internet which began as a research experiment was never designed to handle the users and applications it hosts today.…
Classical models of computation have been successful in capturing the very essence of individual computing devices. Although they are useful to understand computability power and limitations in the small, such models are not suitable to…
This is a speculative essay on interface design and artificial intelligence. Recently there has been a surge of attention to chatbots based on large language models, including widely reported unsavory interactions. We contend that part of…
Heraklit is an ongoing research program and development project aimed at creating an infrastructure for modeling large-scale, computer-integrated systems. We discuss the key requirements for such models (hierarchies, user view,…
