Cyber attacks are increasingly becoming prevalent and influence the Internet ecosystem. Particularly, botnets crafted by adversaries cause significant damage to Internet infrastructure. In the last decade, the boom of P2P protocols broadened and ...

We present PolarStar, a novel family of diameter-3 network topologies derived from the star product of low-diameter factor graphs.

PolarStar gives the largest known diameter-3 network topologies for almost all radixes, thus providing the best known ...

Shape-changeable computer system is proposed as a system that forms various shapes by communicating wirelessly with many adjacent chips. A network that supports diverse shapes and dynamic chip replacement is important, and methods for constructing ad-hoc ...

The Ripple network is one typical blockchain‐based decentralized credit network, which supports money transfer without physical money movement by only transferring the credits between participants. It is critical to obtain a deep understanding ...

The topologies of two major categories of Ripple transactions, namely, direct payments and credit payments, have been analysed using diverse metrics. The findings reveal significant imbalances and concentrations within these networks, where a small ...

Information-centric networking (ICN) has been widely studied as a new network architecture for efficient content delivery. However, the threat of content poisoning attack (CPA) has been pointed out. In the CPA, a malicious user degrades the cache hit ...

Since its inception, computational social science (CSS) has been characterized as an interdisciplinary field. Nevertheless, unlike a mature interdisciplinary field that duly integrates knowledge beyond disciplinary boundaries, CSS has arguably been ...

Decentralized learning (DL) has gained prominence for its potential benefits in terms of scalability, privacy, and fault tolerance. It consists of many nodes that coordinate without a central server and exchange millions of parameters in the ...

Over the years, web content has evolved from simple text and static images hosted on a single server to a complex, interactive and multimedia-rich content hosted on different servers. As a result, a modern website during its loading time fetches content ...

In this paper we present PolarFly, a diameter-2 network topology based on the Erdős-Rényi family of polarity graphs from finite geometry. This is the first known diameter-2 topology that asymptotically reaches the Moore bound on the number of nodes for ...

Wide Area Network (WAN) research benefits from the availability of realistic network topologies, e. g., as input to simulations, emulators, or testbeds. With the rise of Machine Learning (ML) and particularly Deep Learning (DL) methods, this demand for ...

Researchers often face the lack of data on large operational networks to understand how they are used, how they behave, and sometimes how they fail. This data is crucial to drive the evolution of Internet protocols and develop techniques such as traffic ...

Online social media (OSM) has become a hotbed for the rapid dissemination of disinformation or fake news. In order to recognise fake news and guide users of OSM, we focus on the stance recognition of comments, posted on OSM on the fake news-related ...

In the WatchPlant project, we aim to develop a bio-hybrid wireless sensor network (WSN) that uses natural plants as sensors for a variety of environmental conditions. One of the major challenges in such a system is managing connectivity while balancing ...

Pinpointing the geographic location of an IP address is important for a range of location-aware applications spanning from targeted advertising to fraud prevention. The majority of traditional measurement-based and recent learning-based methods either ...

One major way that people engage in adaptive problem solving is by imitating others’ solutions. Prominent simulation models have found imperfect imitation advantageous, but the interactions between copying amount and other prevalent aspects of social ...

Although existing Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) based on message passing achieve state-of-the-art, the over-smoothing issue, node similarity distortion issue and dissatisfactory link prediction performance can’t be ignored. This paper summarizes these ...

Online social media (OSM) has become a hotbed for the rapid dissemination of disinformation or faked news. In order to track and limit the spread of faked news, we study stance identification of comments posted on OSM, where the stance can denote the ...

In view of the problems of insufficient security and poor user experience in traditional monitoring methods of smart classroom, a new remote monitoring scheme based on internet of things technology is proposed. In the hardware part, the remote monitoring ...

A procedure of quantitative assessment of monitoring security of the effectiveness of facilities in the vessel traffic management system along the Northern Sea Route is described using meteor-burst communication networks of the Russian Arctic.

The design of the network topology of a large-scale parallel computer system can be represented as an order/degree problem in the graph theory. To solve the order/degree problem, we have to obtain all-pairs-shortest-path (APSP) for the graph. A ...
