Epidemics in Small-World Communication Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
The two main characteristics of small-world networks are strong local clustering, and small diameter. These two characteristics are desirable properties in communication networks since typical communication patterns show large amounts of local communication and a small amount of non-local communication that must be completed quickly. In this paper, we study variants of broadcasting that resemble the spread of computer viruses in networks. We also study the related problem of stopping an epidemic.

Epidemics in Interconnected Small-World Networks
Networks can be used to describe the interconnections among individuals, which play an important role in the spread of disease. Although the small-world effect has been found to have a significant impact on epidemics in single networks, the small-world effect on epidemics in interconnected networks has rarely been considered. Here, we study the susceptible-infected-susceptible (SIS) model of ep...
متن کاملSmall-world Structure in Children’s Featured Semantic Networks
Background: Knowing the development pattern of children’s language is applicable in developmental psychology. Network models of language are helpful for the identification of these patterns. Objectives: We examined the small-world properties of featured semantic networks of developing children. Materials & Methods: In this longitudinal study, the featured semantic networks of children aged 1...
متن کاملDisease dynamics on small-world and other networks
In 1998 Watts and Strogatz introduced the concepts of small-world networks and in the process expanded our views of computer, social, and biological networks. In this project, we built epidemics on small world and other networks. Epidemic outbreaks of communicable and sexually-transmitted diseases are modeled on small-world and two-node networks, respectively. The results of simulations are com...
متن کاملEffect of Small-World Networks on Epidemic Propagation and Intervention
The small-world network, characterized by special structural properties of high connectivity and clustering, is one of the highlights in recent advances in network science and has the potential to model a variety of social contact networks. In an attempt to better understand how these structural properties of small-world networks affect epidemic propagation and intervention, this article uses a...
متن کاملCost-aware Topology Customization of Mesh-based Networks-on-Chip
Nowadays, the growing demand for supporting multiple applications causes to use multiple IPs onto the chip. In fact, finding truly scalable communication architecture will be a critical concern. To this end, the Networks-on-Chip (NoC) paradigm has emerged as a promising solution to on-chip communication challenges within the silicon-based electronics. Many of today’s NoC architectures are based...
