The study of network formation is pervasive in economics, sociology, and many other fields. In this paper, we model network formation as a `choice' that is made by nodes in a network to connect to other nodes. We study these `choices' using…
Modern low-latency anonymity systems, no matter whether constructed as an overlay or implemented at the network layer, offer limited security guarantees against traffic analysis. On the other hand, high-latency anonymity systems offer…
The effect of full-duplex cooperative relaying in a random access multiuser network is investigated here. First, we model the self-interference incurred due to full-duplex operation, assuming multi-packet reception capabilities for both the…
Scheduling and managing queues with bounded buffers are among the most fundamental problems in computer networking. Traditionally, it is often assumed that all the properties of each packet are known immediately upon arrival. However, as…
In modern energy networks, where operational efficiency and resilience are critical, this study introduces an in-depth analysis from a multiplex network perspective - defined as a network where multiple types of connections exist between…
In this paper we present a new simulation model designed to evaluate the dependability in distributed systems. This model extends the MONARC simulation model with new capabilities for capturing reliability, safety, availability, security,…
Multiplex networks are networks composed of multiple layers such that the number of nodes in all layers is the same and the adjacency matrices between the layers are diagonal. We consider the special class of multiplex networks where the…
We investigate the problem of designing delay-aware joint flow control, routing, and scheduling algorithms in general multi-hop networks for maximizing network utilization. Since the end-to-end delay performance has a complex dependence on…
This paper investigates under which conditions information can be reliably shared and consensus can be solved in unknown and anonymous message-passing networks that suffer from crash-failures. We provide algorithms to emulate registers and…

Deterministic IP (DIP) networking is a promising technique that can provide delay-bounded transmission in large-scale networks. Nevertheless, DIP faces several challenges in the mixed traffic scenarios, including (i) the capability of…
Network simulation is the most useful and common methodology used to evaluate different network to-pologies without real world implementation. Network simulators are widely used by the research community to evaluate new theories and…
The LHCb (Large Hadron Collider beauty) experiment is designed to study differences between particles and anti-particles as well as very rare decays in the charm and beauty sector at the LHC (Large Hadron Collider). The detector will be…
Event-triggered networked control of a linear dynamical system is investigated. Specifically, the dynamical system and the controller are assumed to be connected through a communication channel. State and control input information packets…
Modeling and analyzing security of networked systems is an important problem in the emerging Science of Security and has been under active investigation. In this paper, we propose a new approach towards tackling the problem. Our approach is…
We present a selective review of statistical modeling of dynamic networks. We focus on models with latent variables, specifically, the latent space models and the latent class models (or stochastic blockmodels), which investigate both the…
CPU-based trusted execution environments (TEEs) and differential privacy (DP) have gained wide applications for private inference. Due to high inference latency in TEEs, researchers use partition-based approaches that offload linear model…
MIMO technology has been studied in textbooks for several decades, and it has been adopted in 4G and 5G systems. Due to the recent evolution in 5G and beyond networks, designed to cover a wide range of use cases with every time more complex…
Arguably the key issue in modelling discrete choice data is capturing preference heterogeneity. This can be through observed characteristics, and/or using techniques for capturing random heterogeneity across respondents. On the latter, in…
We study non-convex distributed optimization problems where a set of agents collaboratively solve a separable optimization problem that is distributed over a time-varying network. The existing methods to solve these problems rely on (at…
