Power grids vulnerability is a key issue in society. A component failure may trigger cascades of failures across the grid and lead to a large blackout. Complex network approaches have shown a direction to study some of the problems faced by…
We investigate the abrupt breakdown behavior of coupled distribution grids under load growth. This scenario mimics the ever-increasing customer demand and the foreseen introduction of energy hubs interconnecting the different energy…
Diffusion on complex networks is a convenient framework to simulate a great variety of transport systems. The effects of failures in the network links may be used to cascade phenomena or the congestion formation in the system. A real time…
Natural and technological interdependent systems have been shown to be highly vulnerable due to cascading failures and an abrupt collapse of global connectivity under initial failure. Mitigating the risk by partial disconnection endangers…
In an increasingly connected world, the resilience of networked dynamical systems is important in the fields of ecology, economics, critical infrastructures, and organizational behaviour. Whilst we understand small-scale resilience well,…
Water distribution networks are hydraulic infrastructures that aim to meet water demands at their various nodes. Water flows through pipes in the network create nonlinear dynamics on networks. A desirable feature of water distribution…
A multiplex network of identical dynamical units becomes resilient against parameter perturbation by adding selective linear diffusive cross-coupling links. A parameter drift at any instant in one or multiple network nodes can destroy…
Networking in Wireless Sensor networks is a challenging task due to the lack of resources in the network as well as the frequent changes in network topology. Although lots of research has been done on supporting QoS in the Internet and…
Distributed resource allocation (DRA) is fundamental to modern networked systems, spanning applications from economic dispatch in smart grids to CPU scheduling in data centers. Conventional DRA approaches require reliable communication, yet…
Problem definition: We study a workforce redeployment problem in hospital networks, where clinical staff, such as nurses, are temporarily reassigned from overstaffed to understaffed sites to address short-term imbalances. This practice of…
