Most network planning problems in literature consider metrics such as cost, availability, and other technology-aware attributes. However, network operators now face new challenges in designing their networks to minimize their dependencies…

Software-Defined Networking (SDN) allows to control the available network resources by an intelligent and centralized authority in order to optimize traffic flows in a flexible manner. However, centralized control may face scalability…

Strong structural controllability (SSC) guarantees networked system with linear-invariant dynamics controllable for all numerical realizations of parameters. Current research has established algebraic and graph-theoretic conditions of SSC…

How do we assess a new Internet congestion control (CC) design? How do we compare it with other existing schemes? Under what scenarios and using what network parameters? These are just a handful of simple questions coming up every time a…

Many quantities that characterize network elements are defined in an explicit form and calculated directly from the network structure; examples of include several centrality measures like degree, closeness, or betweenness. However, there…

Spectral centrality measures allow to identify influential individuals in social groups, to rank Web pages by their popularity, and even to determine the impact of scientific researches. The centrality score of a node within a network…

CNC manufacturing is a process that employs computer numerical control (CNC) machines to govern the movements of various industrial tools and machinery, encompassing equipment ranging from grinders and lathes to mills and CNC routers.…

Net neutrality on the Internet is perceived as the policy that mandates Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to treat all data equally, regardless of the source, destination, or type of transmitted data. In this work, we consider a scheme in…

This paper studies the problem of selecting input nodes (leaders) to make networks strong structurally controllable despite misbehaving nodes and edges. We utilize a graph-based characterization of network strong structural controllability…

Risk is the best known and perhaps the best studied example within a much broader class of cyber security metrics. However, risk is not the only possible cyber security metric. Other metrics such as resilience can exist and could be…

The reliability of a network is an important parameter to consider when building a network. Different characteristics of the network can become unreliable over time or from other outside forces. In a simple setting, we model a network as a…

This paper studies the controllability backbone problem in dynamical networks defined over graphs. The main idea of the controllability backbone is to identify a small subset of edges in a given network such that any subnetwork containing…

Reliable measures of statistical dependence could be useful tools for learning independent features and performing tasks like source separation using Independent Component Analysis (ICA). Unfortunately, many of such measures, like the…

We describe a new method for the random sampling of connected networks with a specified degree sequence. We consider both the case of simple graphs and that of loopless multigraphs. The constraints of fixed degrees and of connectedness are…

This paper studies the problem of controlling complex networks, that is, the joint problem of selecting a set of control nodes and of designing a control input to steer a network to a target state. For this problem (i) we propose a metric…

Self-sustainability is a crucial step for modern sensor networks. Here, we offer an original and comprehensive framework for autonomous sensor networks powered by renewable energy sources. We decompose our design into two nested…

This letter deals with the controllability issue of complex networks. An index is chosen to quantitatively measure the extent of controllability of given network. The effect of this index is analyzed based on empirical studies on various…

Classifiers learnt from data are increasingly being used as components in systems where safety is a critical concern. In this work, we present a formal notion of safety for classifiers via constraints called safe-ordering constraints. These…

Network controllability measures how well a networked system can be controlled to a target state, and its robustness reflects how well the system can maintain the controllability against malicious attacks by means of node-removals or…

An objective of network neutrality is that the design of regulations for the Internet will ensure that it remains a public, open platform where innovations can thrive. While there is broad agreement that preserving the content quality of…
