The flow models of complex network system are developed and main flow characteristics of its elements are defined. Those characteristics are applied for determining actual structure of the system, analyzing its development on all lifecycle…
The functionality of nodes in a network is often described by the structural feature of belonging to the giant component. However, when dealing with problems like transport, a more appropriate functionality criterion is for a node to belong…
Networks play a prominent role in the study of complex systems of interacting entities in biology, sociology, and economics. Despite this diversity, we demonstrate here that a statistical model decomposing networks into matching and…
Infrastructure systems, such as power systems, often experience cascading failures. Modeling an infrastructure system as a collection of interdependent networks has recently received attention as a way to explain cascading failures. In this…
Independent component analysis (ICA) is popular in many applications, including cognitive neuroscience and signal processing. Due to computational constraints, principal component analysis is used for dimension reduction prior to ICA…
A fundamental problem in the study of networks is the identification of important nodes. This is typically achieved using centrality metrics, which rank nodes in terms of their position in the network. This approach works well for static…
Three-Dimensional Networks-on-Chips (3D-NoCs) have been proposed as an auspicious solution, merging the high parallelism of the Network-on-Chip (NoC) paradigm with the high-performance and low-power cost of 3D-ICs. However, as technology…
Subjective judgements from experts provide essential information when assessing and modelling threats in respect to cyber-physical systems. For example, the vulnerability of individual system components can be described using multiple…
Developing optimized restoration strategies for power distribution systems (PDSs) is critical to enhancing resilience. Prior knowledge of customer interruption cost (CIC) and load restoration behaviors, particularly cold load pickup (CLPU),…
Network meta-analysis (NMA) is widely used in evidence synthesis to estimate the effects of several competing interventions for a given clinical condition. One of the challenges is that it is not possible in disconnected networks. Component…
The characterization of multicomponent signals with a particular emphasis on musical and communication signals is one of the problems studied in the dissertation. In order to provide an efficient analysis of the multicomponent signals, the…
Empirical data on real complex systems are becoming increasingly available. Parallel to this is the need for new methods of reconstructing (inferring) the topology of networks from time-resolved observations of their node-dynamics. The…
Component-based systems often describe context requirements in terms of explicit inter-component dependencies. Studying large instances of such systems?such as free and open source software (FOSS) distributions?in terms of declared…
In spite of a few attempts in understanding the dynamical robustness of complex networks, this extremely important subject of research is still in its dawn as compared to the other dynamical processes on networks. We hereby consider the…
In order to successfully model Long Distance Dependencies (LDDs) it is necessary to understand the full-range of the characteristics of the LDDs exhibited in a target dataset. In this paper, we use Strictly k-Piecewise languages to generate…
This paper deals with the detection and prediction of losses due to cyber attacks waged on vital networks. The accumulation of losses to a network during a series of attacks is modeled by a 2-dimensional monotone random walk process as…
Identifying the most influential spreaders is important to understand and control the spreading process in a network. As many real-world complex systems can be modeled as multilayer networks, the question of identifying important nodes in…
In critical infrastructures, communication networks are used to exchange vital data among elements of Industrial Control Systems (ICSes). Due to the criticality of such systems and the increase of the cybersecurity risks in these contexts,…
From an optimization point of view, resource allocation is one of the cornerstones of research for addressing limiting factors commonly arising in applications such as power outages and traffic jams. In this paper, we take a data-driven…
Recently much attention has been paid to the study of the robustness of interdependent and multiplex networks and, in particular, networks of networks. The robustness of interdependent networks can be evaluated by the size of a mutually…
