We explore the synchronization behavior in interdependent systems, where the one-dimensional (1D) network (the intranetwork coupling strength J(I)) is ferromagnetically intercoupled (the strength J) to the Watts-Strogatz (WS) small-world network (the intranetwork coupling strength J(II)). In the absence of the internetwork coupling (J=0), the former network is well known not to exhibit the sync...

In an interdependent world the risks faced by any one agent depend not only on its choices but also on those of all others. Expectations about others' choices will influence investments in risk management and the outcome can be suboptimal for everyone. We model this as the Nash equilibrium of a game and give conditions for such a suboptimal equilibrium to be tipped to an optimal one. We also ch...

We introduce a new class of interdependent games, motivated by applications in large-scale power restoration, humanitarian logistics, and integrated supply-chains, where different agents have individual utilities but a social welfare objective must be optimized in a decentralized fashion. In these games, the utilities of one player does not depend on the decisions of the other player, giving he...

Modern infrastructure networks are often coupled together and thus could be modeled as interdependent networks. Overload and interdependent effect make interdependent networks more fragile when suffering from attacks. Existing research has primarily concentrated on the cascading failure process of interdependent networks without load, or the robustness of isolated network with load. Only limite...

Many real-world networks depend on other networks, often in nontrivial ways, to maintain their functionality. These interdependent "networks of networks" are often extremely fragile. When a fraction 1-p of nodes in one network randomly fails, the damage propagates to nodes in networks that are interdependent and a dynamic failure cascade occurs that affects the entire system. We present dynamic...

As the world has grown smaller with intensive transportation and communication advances, it has also grown more interdependent. Products and people are constantly on the move and fragile ecosystems are increasingly disturbed as development pushes into new areas. Environmental pressures or ineffective health systems are recognized for their local impact but also seen as potential sources of nati...

The operation of future intelligent transportation systems (ITSs), communications infrastructure (CI), and power grids (PGs) will be highly interdependent. In particular, autonomous connected vehicles require CI resources to operate, and, thus, communication failures can result in nonoptimality the ITS flow terms traffic jams fuel consumption. Similarly, components, e.g., base stations (BSs) im...

Abstract The article examines the increasingly important role played by technology in domain of public security Germany, illustrating its effects on social life. In order to illuminate developments that govern adoption technologies and render them their dependencies comprehensible, we present two plausible consistent future scenarios for Germany 2035. Following Jasanoff Kim, these are theoretic...

This research suggests a Denial of Service (DoS) detection method based on the collection of interdependent behavior data in a sensor network environment. In order to collect the interdependent behavior data, we use a base station to analyze traffic and behaviors among nodes and introduce methods of detecting changes in the environment with precursor symptoms. The study presents a DoS Detection...

We propose a model of interdependent scheduling games in which each player controls a set of services that they schedule independently. A player is free to schedule his own services at any time; however, each of these services only begins to accrue reward for the player when all predecessor services, which may or may not be controlled by the same player, have been activated. This model, where p...
