The efficacy of a communication network hinges upon both its physical architecture and the protocols that are employed within it. In the context of quantum communications, there exists a fundamental rate-loss tradeoff for point-to-point…

Resilience in optical networks has traditionally relied on redundancy and pre-planned recovery strategies, both of which assume a certain level of disaster predictability. However, recent environmental changes such as climate shifts, the…

We study the stationary states of networks consisting of weakly coupled bistable units. We prove the existence of a high multiplicity of stable steady states in networks with very general inter-unit dynamics. We present a method for…

Complex networks have recently attracted much interest due to their prevalence in nature and our daily lives [1, 2]. A critical property of a network is its resilience to random breakdown and failure [3-6], typically studied as a…

In this paper, we design a resource management scheme to support stateful applications, which will be prevalent in 6G networks. Different from stateless applications, stateful applications require context data while executing computing…

This paper studies a fundamental algorithmic problem related to the design of demand-aware networks: networks whose topologies adjust toward the traffic patterns they serve, in an online manner. The goal is to strike a tradeoff between the…

Deep networks are an integral part of the current machine learning paradigm. Their inherent ability to learn complex functional mappings between data and various target variables, while discovering hidden, task-driven features, makes them a…

Bypass rewiring improves connectivity and robustness of networks against removal of nodes including failures and attacks. A concept of bypass rewiring on directed networks is proposed, and random bypass rewiring on infinite directed random…

This paper explores necessary and sufficient system conditions to solve distributed tasks with binary outputs (\textit{i.e.}, tasks with output values in $\{0,1\}$). We focus on the distinct output sets of values a task can produce…

With increasing threats by large attacks or disasters, the time has come to reconstruct network infrastructures such as communication or transportation systems rather than to recover them as before in case of accidents, because many real…

Oblivious routing has a long history in both the theory and practice of networking. In this work we initiate the formal study of oblivious routing in the context of reconfigurable networks, a new architecture that has recently come to the…

Building a network architecture must answer to organization needs, but also to two major elements which are the need for dependability and performance. By performance, we must understand the ability to meet an immediate need and the ability…

Reliable low-latency communication is a key requirement for mission-critical and mobile autonomous systems, including teleoperation, autonomous navigation, and real-time uplink-dominant telemetry applications. While commercial 5G networks…

Complex networks are ubiquitous: a cell, the human brain, a group of people and the Internet are all examples of interconnected many-body systems characterized by macroscopic properties that cannot be trivially deduced from those of their…

Enabling the Internet of things in remote areas without traditional communication infrastructure requires a multi-layer network architecture. The devices in the overlay network are required to provide coverage to the underlay devices as…

Traditionally, networks operate at a small fraction of their capacities; however, recent technologies, such as Software-Defined Networking, may let operators run their networks harder (i.e., at higher utilization levels). Higher utilization…

We consider the problem of constructing a communication infrastructure from scratch, for a collection of identical wireless nodes. Combinatorially, this means a) finding a set of links that form a strongly connected spanning graph on a set…

In Nature, the primary goal of any network is to survive. This is less obvious for engineering networks (electric power, gas, water, transportation systems etc.) that are expected to operate under normal conditions most of time. As a…

In the sequential learning problem, agents in a network attempt to predict a binary ground truth, informed by both a noisy private signal and the predictions of neighboring agents before them. It is well known that social learning in this…

Power systems are susceptible to natural threats including hurricanes and floods. Modern power grids are also increasingly threatened by cyber attacks. Existing approaches that help improve power system security and resilience may not be…
