Critical Infrastructures like power and communication networks are highly interdependent on each other for their full functionality. Many significant research have been pursued to model the interdependency and failure analysis of these interdependent networks. However most of these models fail to capture the complex interdependencies that might actually exist between the infrastructures. The Im...

Abstract. A nonlinear measure, namely multi-interdependency, is proposed to detect the essential nodes in heterogeneously dynamical networks. The method is based upon the conceptions of the nearest conditional neighbors and singular value decomposition (SVD). Numerical results show that the value of multi-interdependency is positively correlated with the degree of nodes, which is beneficial to ...

A knowledge base (KB) is a collection of factual information pertaining to the objects of specialized domains or application areas. KB information may be acquired and represented using language paradigms which are based on formalisms of predicate calculus. Usually, the domains are not necessarily distinct due to the interrelatedness of the components of the problem or interdependency of the obj...

A Case for Symbol Interdependency 2 Abstract Current directions in cognitive science suggest that language processing is either embodied or symbolic. Instead of posing the question whether language comprehension is embodied or symbolic, the question should be to what extent language comprehension is embodied and symbolic. The current study relies on the theoretical model that considers symbols ...

Different kinds of user-generated content are becoming available in mobile digital and web media settings as well spurred by the rapid advances in the cellular telephony market. We use a unique dataset of individual-level mobile records to study the nature of interdependencies between users’ content generation and content usage behavior. While theories of resource constraints from economics pos...

Critical infrastructures (CI) depend on communications and information technology infrastructure (CITI) for many of their key functionalities, which is known as cyber interdependency. In this paper, we presented a cyber interdependency simulation technique that is based on the idea that overall performance of a CI network is determined by the behaviour of its components at multiple time scales....
