Being motivated by recent developments in the theory of complex networks, we examine the robustness of communication networks under intentional attack that takes down network nodes in a decreasing order of their nodal degrees. In this…
We consider a cyber-physical system consisting of two interacting networks, i.e., a cyber-network overlaying a physical-network. It is envisioned that these systems are more vulnerable to attacks since node failures in one network may…
We study the influence of clustering, more specifically triangles, on cascading failures in interdependent networks or systems, in which we model the dependence between comprising systems using a dependence graph. First, we propose a new…
Complex network theory is a useful way to study many real systems. In this paper, an anti-attack model based on complex network theory is introduced. The mechanism of this model is based on dynamic compensation process and reverse…
Current popular phishing prevention techniques mainly utilize reactive blocklists, which leave a ``window of opportunity'' for attackers during which victims are unprotected. One possible approach to shorten this window aims to detect…
In transmission networks power flows and network topology are deeply intertwined due to power flow physics. Recent literature shows that specific network substructures named bridge-blocks prevent line failures from propagating globally. A…
Research into cascading failures in power-transmission networks requires detailed data on the capacity of individual transmission lines. However, these data are often unavailable to researchers. As a result, line limits are often modelled…
