Exploitation techniques targeting intermediate (transit) network nodes in public and private networks have been theoretically known and empirically proven to work for quite some time. However, very little effort has been made to look into…

Drawing on an ongoing longitudinal research study, we discuss problems in the development of five next generation community networking projects in central New York. The projects were funded under a state program to diffuse broadband…

The networking field has recently started to incorporate artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), big data analytics combined with advances in networking (such as software-defined networks, network functions virtualization, and…

Natural hazards including floods can trigger catastrophic failures in interdependent urban transport network-of-networks (NoNs). Population growth has enhanced transportation demand while urbanization and climate change have intensified…

The capacity to resist attacks from the environment is crucial to the survival of all organisms. We quantitatively analyze the susceptibility of protein interaction networks of numerous organisms to random and malicious attacks. We find for…

We numerically investigate that optimal robust onion-like networks can emerge even with the constraint of surface growth in supposing a spatially embedded transportation or communication system. To be onion-like, moderately long links are…

Recently, online social networks have become major battlegrounds for political campaigns, viral marketing, and the dissemination of news. As a consequence, ''bad actors'' are increasingly exploiting these platforms, becoming a key challenge…

Internet is growing rapidly in the developing world now. Our survey of four networks in India, all having at least one thousand users, suggest that both installation cost and recurring cost due to power consumption pose a challenge in its…

The Internet infrastructure is severely stressed. Rapidly growing overheads associated with the primary function of the Internet---routing information packets between any two computers in the world---cause concerns among Internet experts…

Adaptive networks are a novel class of dynamical networks whose topologies and states coevolve. Many real-world complex systems can be modeled as adaptive networks, including social networks, transportation networks, neural networks and…

Societies experience politically stable and unstable phases along history, whereas political power is usually passed to new elite groups by these changes. Structural dynamics of the elites in a society have been proposed to be one of the…

In (Deffuant et al., 2002), we proposed a simple model of opinion dynamics, which we used to simulate the influence of extremists in a population. Simulations were run without any specific interaction structure and varying the simulation…

Generally, networks are classified into two sides of inequality and equality with respect to the number of links at nodes by the types of degree distributions. One side includes many social, technological, and biological networks which…

The strong growth of low rate wireless personal area networks (LR-WPAN), leads us to consider the autonomy problems, thus node lifetime in a network, knowing that the power supplies replacement is often difficult to realize. The inherent…

The widespread proliferation of Internet and wireless applications has produced a significant increase of ICT energy footprint. As a response, in the last five years, significant efforts have been undertaken to include energy-awareness into…

The increasing demands in security and reliability of infrastructures call for the optimal design of their embedded complex networks topologies. The following question then arises: what is the optimal layout to fulfill best all the demands?…

Networks created and maintained by social processes, such as the human friendship network and the World Wide Web, appear to exhibit the property of navigability: namely, not only do short paths exist between any pair of nodes, but such…

Tipping points occur in diverse systems in various disciplines such as ecology, climate science, economy or engineering. Tipping points are critical thresholds in system parameters or state variables at which a tiny perturbation can lead to…

Modern societies can be understood as the intersection of four interdependent systems: (1) the natural environment of geography, climate and weather; (2) the built environment of cities, engineered systems, and physical infrastructure; (3)…

We show, both numerically and analytically, that the consequences of 'wiring up' a competitive population depend quite dramatically on the interplay between the local connectivity and the global resources. With modest global resources,…
