Resource Constrained Networks (RCN) have become a hot topic in recent years, they includes Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks (MANET) and Delay-Tolerant Networks (DTN). Security is one of the major ...

Many networks contain community structure which identifies groups of nodes within which connections are denser than between them. Detecting and characterizing such community structure, which is known as community detection, ...

The convergence model studies how an imbalanced network evolves towards new balance. The assumption behind our model of convergence is that in resolving tensions within imbalanced relationships, people tend to avoid the ...

In this thesis we study the problem of optimizing consensus networks through network design. The performance of each network is determined by its topology. We consider how the performance of consensus networks can be ...

To demonstrate the practicality of this federated query planning framework, we present results of empirical evaluation of the framework components over a real-world dataset of bibliographic data. These results show that ...

Second, we learn from news source behavior and relationships. In this approach, we explore content sharing behavior by both mainstream and alternative news sources. Specifically, we construct content sharing networks from ...

Many algorithms have been proposed to measure prominence of individuals in social networks. However, these algorithms are highly dependent on the underlying mechanisms for judging how individuals gain prominence in a given ...
