The Telex system is designed for sharing mutable data in a distributed environment, particularly for collaborative applications. Users operate on their local, persistent replica of shared documents; they can work disconnected and suffer no…
Several social factors impact how people respond to AI explanations used to justify AI decisions affecting them personally. In this position paper, we define a framework called the \textit{layers of explanation} (LEx), a lens through which…
Computation offloading is often used in mobile cloud, edge, and/or fog computing to cope with resource limitations of mobile devices in terms of computational power, storage, and energy. Computation offloading is particularly challenging in…
The learnability of different neural architectures can be characterized directly by computable measures of data complexity. In this paper, we reframe the problem of architecture selection as understanding how data determines the most…
Street networks may be planned according to clear organizing principles or they may evolve organically through accretion, but their configurations and orientations help define a city's spatial logic and order. Measures of entropy reveal a…
We propose a two-stage algorithm for energy-efficient resource allocation constrained to QoS and physical requirements in OFDM-based EONs. The first stage deals with routing, grooming and traffic ordering and aims at minimizing amplifier…
From transportation networks to complex infrastructures, and to social and economic networks, a large variety of systems can be described in terms of multiplex networks formed by a set of nodes interacting through different network layers.…
Understanding why a neural network model makes certain decisions can be as important as the inference performance. Various methods have been proposed to help practitioners explain the prediction of a neural network model, of which Shapley…
The harsh environment imposes a unique set of challenges on networking strategies. In such circumstances, the environmental impact on network resources and long-time unattended maintenance has not been well investigated yet. To address…
A fundamental problem in studying and modeling economic and financial systems is represented by privacy issues, which put severe limitations on the amount of accessible information. Here we introduce a novel, highly nontrivial method to…
This non-conventional paper represents the first attempt to uncover a possible vulnerability in some proposals for optical network designs and performance comparisons. While optical network designs and planning lie at the heart of achieving…
With an increasing emphasis on network security, much more attention has been attracted to the vulnerability of complex networks. The multi-scale evaluation of vulnerability is widely used since it makes use of combined powers of the links'…
Multiplex networks are receiving increasing interests because they allow to model relationships between networked agents on several layers simultaneously. In this supplementary material for the paper "Navigability of interconnected networks…
By leveraging information technologies, organizations now have the ability to design their communication networks and crowdsourcing platforms to pursue various performance goals, but existing research on network design does not account for…
Future wireless networks are envisioned to integrate multi-hop, multi-operator, multi-technology (m3) components in order to meet the increasing traffic demand at an acceptable price for subscribers. The performance of such a network…
A new architectural paradigm, named, optical-computing-enabled network, is proposed as a potential evolution of the currently used optical-bypass framework. The main idea is to leverage the optical computing capabilities performed on…
Many complex systems can be represented as networks, and the problem of network comparison is becoming increasingly relevant. There are many techniques for network comparison, from simply comparing network summary statistics to…
In modern network design, "efficiency" is often conflated with raw performance metrics like latency or aggregate throughput. This paper proposes a resource-centric definition of efficiency, isolating the hardware cost required to maintain a…
The quality of ontologies and their alignments is crucial for developing high-quality semantics-based applications. Traditional debugging techniques repair ontology networks by removing unwanted axioms and mappings, but may thereby remove…
We provide a general framework for the problem of data offloading in a heterogeneous wireless network, where some demand of cellular users is served by a complementary network. The complementary network is either a small-cell network that…
