Designing virus-resistant networks: A game-formation approach

Forming, in a decentralized fashion, an optimal network topology while balancing multiple, possibly conflicting objectives like cost, high performance, security and resiliency to viruses is a challenging endeavor. In this paper, we take a game-formation approach to network design where each player, for instance an autonomous system in the...

Finding Critical Regions and Region-Disjoint Paths in a Network

Due to their importance to society, communication networks should be built and operated to withstand failures.However, cost considerations make network providers less inclined to take robustness measures against failures that are unlikely to manifest, like several failures coinciding simultaneously in different geographic regions of their...
