In this paper, we develop methods to estimate the network coverage of a TTL-bound query packet undergoing flooding on an unstructured p2p network. The estimation based on the degree distribution of the networks, reveals that the presence of certain cycle-forming edges, that we name as cross and...

In the healthcare domain, there is a challenge on how to design a scalable, dynamic, robust and secure network for provisioning personalized healthcare services remotely with an efficient and accurate manner. In the present work, motivated by innovations in the networking domain and the benefits...

There has been a rich interplay in recent years between (i) empirical investigations of real-world dynamic networks, (ii) analytical modeling of the microscopic mechanisms that drive the emergence of such networks, and (iii) harnessing of these mechanisms to either manipulate existing networks,...

In this paper, we present a formal language theoretic approach to the behavior of complex systems of cooperating and communicating agents performing distributed computation on dynamic networks. In particular, we model peer-to-peer networks and the information harvest of Internet crawlers on the...

In this paper we study the optimal file-sharing mechanism in a peer-to-peer network with a mechanism design perspective. This mechanism improves upon existing incentive schemes. In particular, we show that peer-approved scheme is never optimal and service-quality scheme is optimal only under...
