Traffic Control for Network Protection Against Spreading Processes
Epidemic outbreaks in human populations are facilitated by the underlying transportation network. We consider strategies for containing a viral spreading process by optimally allocating a limited budget to three types of protection resources: (i) Traffic control resources, (ii), preventative resources and (iii) corrective resources. Traffic control resources are employed to impose restrictions ...
متن کاملOptimal Resource Allocation for Network Protection: A Geometric Programming Approach
We study the problem of containing spreading processes in arbitrary directed networks by distributing protection resources throughout the nodes of the network. We consider two types of protection resources are available: (i) Preventive resources able to defend nodes against the spreading (such as vaccines in a viral infection process), and (ii) corrective resources able to neutralize the spread...
متن کاملAdaptive resource allocation for wildlife protection against illegal poachers
Illegal poaching is an international problem that leads to the extinction of species and the destruction of ecosystems. As evidenced by dangerously dwindling populations of endangered species, existing anti-poaching mechanisms are insufficient. This paper introduces the Protection Assistant for Wildlife Security (PAWS) application a joint deployment effort done with researchers at Uganda’s Quee...
متن کاملOptimal Resource Allocation in Wireless Mesh Network
Flow control in a wireless mesh network is an optimization problem. The task is to maximize the aggregate utility of elastic traffic sources. The work has been a basis for analysing various transport-level (including TCP-based) congestion control algorithms. The task takes is to analyse the self-interference of flows and assigns channel, level of transmission power and time slots to each link. ...
متن کاملProtection of Complex Networks against SIR Spreading Processes
This paper introduces a theoretical framework for the analysis and control of the stochastic susceptibleinfected-removed (SIR) spreading process over a network of heterogeneous agents. In our analysis, we analyze the exact networked Markov process describing the SIR model, without resorting to mean-field approximations, and introduce a convex optimization framework to find an efficient allocati...
