Routing is a challenging problem for wireless ad hoc networks, especially when the nodes are mobile and spread so widely that in most cases multiple hops are needed to route a message from one node to another. In fact, it is known that any…
The rise of model sharing through frameworks and dedicated hubs makes Machine Learning significantly more accessible. Despite its benefits, loading shared models exposes users to underexplored security risks, while security awareness…

Nodes in contemporary radio networks often have multiple interfaces available for communication: WiFi, cellular, LoRa, Zigbee, etc. This motivates understanding both link and network configuration when multiple communication modalities with…
Targeted attacks against network infrastructure are notoriously difficult to guard against. In the case of communication networks, such attacks can leave users vulnerable to censorship and surveillance, even when cryptography is used. Much…
So far, many network-structure-based link prediction methods have been proposed. However, these methods only highlight one or two structural features of networks, and then use the methods to predict missing links in different networks. The…
Dynamic facility location problems predominantly suppose a monopoly over the service or product provided. Nonetheless, this premise can be a severe oversimplification in the presence of market competitors, as customers may prefer facilities…
The bilevel facility location problem (BO-FLP) is one of the core optimization problems behind the design of many decentralized industrial systems, e.g., supply chain systems where a supplier constructs some critical facilities and then…

Interlayer link prediction aims at matching the same entities across different layers of the multiplex network. Existing studies attempt to predict more accurately, efficiently, or generically from the aspects of network structure,…
The Fixed-Charge Network Flow problem is a well-studied NP-hard problem that has the goal of finding a flow in a network where fixed edge costs are incurred, regardless of the amount of flow hosted by the edge. In this paper, we consider…
The hybrid cloud idea is increasingly gaining momentum because it brings distinct advantages as a hosting platform for complex software systems. However, there are several challenges that need to be surmounted before hybrid hosting can…
We study throughput-optimum localized link scheduling in wireless networks. The majority of results on link scheduling assume binary interference models that simplify interference constraints in actual wireless communication. While the…
This paper provides a method for the simultaneous topology optimization of parts and their corresponding joint locations in an assembly. Therein, the joint locations are not discrete and predefined, but continuously movable. The underlying…
Transmission line failures in power systems propagate non-locally, making the control of the resulting outages extremely difficult. In this work, we establish a mathematical theory that characterizes the patterns of line failure propagation…
