573 A bit serial VLSI neural network is described from an initial architecture for a synapse array through to silicon layout and board design. The issues surrounding bit serial computation, and analog/digital arithmetic are discussed and the parallel development of a hybrid analog/digital neural network is outlined. Learning and recall capabilities are reported for the bit serial network along ...

Anonymous monitoring of transmissions in a wireless network by eavesdroppers can provide critical information about the data flows in the network. It is, therefore, necessary to design network protocols that maintain secrecy of routes from eavesdroppers. In this work, we present a mathematical formulation of route secrecy when eavesdroppers observe transmission epochs of nodes. We propose sched...

In this paper, a distributed proportional-integral multilayer control strategy is proposed, for reaching consensus in networks of heterogeneous first-order linear node dynamics. The resulting closed-loop network can be seen as an instance of multiplex networks currently studied in network science. The strategy is able to guarantee consensus, even in the presence of constant disturbances and het...

The data transmission by high-speed optical networks has upward trend. Various techniques of multiplexing are used in optical communication networks to satisfy growing demands. Wavelength division multiplexing is currently mostly used multiplex method due to its great advantages. Since the current optical communication networks are based on internet protocol, the optical burst switching present...

Distinct channels of interaction in a complex networked system define network layers, which coexist and cooperate for the system's function. Towards understanding such multiplex systems, we propose a modeling framework based on coevolution of network layers, with a class of minimalistic growing network models as working examples. We examine how the entangled growth of coevolving layers can shap...

We describe the emergence of the giant mutually connected component in networks of networks in which each node has a single replica node in any layer and can be interdependent only on its replica nodes in the interdependent layers. We prove that if, in these networks, all the nodes of one network (layer) are interdependent on the nodes of the same other interconnected layer, then, remarkably, t...
