Decentralized architecture offers a robust and flexible structure for online platforms, since centralized moderation and computation can be easy to disrupt with targeted attacks. However, a platform offering a decentralized architecture…
The rise of the Internet of Things and edge computing has shifted computing resources closer to end-users, benefiting numerous delay-sensitive, computation-intensive applications. To speed up computation, distributed computing is a…
Recent years have seen the emergence of many new neural network structures (architectures and layers). To solve a given task, a network requires a certain set of abilities reflected in its structure. The required abilities depend on each…
Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) are subject to various kinds of attacks. Deploying security mechanisms is difficult due to inherent properties of ad hoc networks, such as the high dynamics of their topology, restricted bandwidth, and…
Network representation learning (also known as information network embedding) has been the central piece of research in social and information network analysis for the last couple of years. An information network can be viewed as a linked…
Mexico City, the largest city in Mexico, is also one of the largest cities in the world. It has over 9 million inhabitants and concentrates the vast majority of government and business centers. In this work we describe algorithms that use…
Any network studied in the literature is inevitably just a sampled representative of its real-world analogue. Additionally, network sampling is lately often applied to large networks to allow for their faster and more efficient analysis.…
As two main focuses of the study of complex networks, the community structure and the dynamics on networks have both attracted much attention in various scientific fields. However, it is still an open question how the community structure is…
A multiplex social network captures multiple types of social relations among the same set of people, with each layer representing a distinct type of relationship. Understanding the structure of such systems allows us to identify how social…
Network infrastructure in a production environment is increasingly targeted by attackers every day. Many resources and services now rely on the internet, making network infrastructure one of the most critical parts to protect, as it hosts…
Community recovery from hazards and crises occurs through various diffusion processes within social and spatial networks of communities. Existing knowledge regarding the diffusion of recovery in community socio-spatial networks, however, is…
Recent work showed that hybrid networks, which combine predefined and learnt filters within a single architecture, are more amenable to theoretical analysis and less prone to overfitting in data-limited scenarios. However, their performance…
In this paper, we consider the problem of exploring structural regularities of networks by dividing the nodes of a network into groups such that the members of each group have similar patterns of connections to other groups. Specifically,…
To characterize the structure, dynamics and operational state of the Internet it requires distributed measurements. Although in the last decades several systems capable to do this have been created, the easy access of these infrastructures…
The ubiquitous use of IoT and machine learning applications is creating large amounts of data that require accurate and real-time processing. Although edge-based smart data processing can be enabled by deploying pretrained models, the…
Street networks allow people and goods to move through cities, but they are vulnerable to disasters like floods, earthquakes, and terrorist attacks. Well-planned network design can make a city more resilient and robust to such disruptions,…
Social networks seeded, crystallized and structured by large-scale social platforms like Facebook, LinkedIn, Slack, Twitter, WhatsApp, Instagram and WeChat exhibit complicated epistemic structures and dynamics that arise from the nature of…
Social networks amplify inequalities due to fundamental mechanisms of social tie formation such as homophily and triadic closure. These forces sharpen social segregation reflected in network fragmentation. Yet, little is known about what…
Many complex systems in nature and society can be described in terms of networks capturing the intricate web of connections among the units they are made of. A key question is how to interpret the global organization of such networks as the…
The network metaphor in the analysis of urban and territorial cases has a long tradition especially in transportation/land-use planning and economic geography. More recently, urban design has brought its contribution by means of the "space…
