Leveraging Social Networks for Increased BitTorrent Robustness

Karl Aberer, Wojciech Galuba, Zoran Despotovic

In peer-to-peer content delivery systems, such as BitTorrent, there may exist nodes that are non-cooperative and do not contribute their upload bandwidth to the system while still downloading content from others. The current widely used countermeasures aga ...

A note on the data-driven capacity of P2P networks

Pascal Frossard

We consider two capacity problems in P2P networks. In the first one, the nodes have an infinite amount of data to send and the goal is to optimally allocate their uplink bandwidths such that the demands of every peer in terms of receiving data rate are met ...

A model for spatially embedded social networks

Gunnar Flötteröd

This paper presents a stochastic model for spatially embedded social networks based on the ideas of spatial interaction models. Analysing empirical data, we find that the probability to accept a social contact at a certain distance follows a power law with ...

Designing peer-to-peer overlays

Sarunas Girdzijauskas

The Small-World phenomenon, well known under the phrase "six degrees of separation", has been for a long time under the spotlight of investigation. The fact that our social network is closely-knitted and that any two people are linked by a short chain of a ...

Synchronizability of dynamical networks: different measures and coincidence

Ali Ajdari Rad, Mahdi Jalili

In this paper, we list four different interpretations of synchronizability, study their profile in different network structures and give evidence that they do not coincide, in general. By changing the network topological properties, their behavior is track ...

Generating Realistic In Silico Gene Networks for Performance Assessment of Reverse Engineering Methods

Dario Floreano, Claudio Mattiussi, Daniel Marbach, Thomas Schaffter

Reverse engineering methods are typically first tested on simulated data from in silico networks, for systematic and efficient performance assessment, before an application to real biological networks. In this paper we present a method for generating biolo ...

Evolutionary reverse engineering of gene networks

Daniel Marbach

The expression of genes is controlled by regulatory networks, which perform fundamental information processing and control mechanisms in a cell. Unraveling and modelling these networks will be indispensable to gain a systems-level understanding of biologic ...

Rumor Spreading in LiveJournal

Saket Sathe

Online social networks have gained importance in recent years. Furthermore, there is a need for designing smart applications for social networks which take into account the behaviour of dynamical processes over these networks. This requires structural know ...

Enhancing synchronizability of dynamical networks using the connection graph stability method

Martin Hasler, Ali Ajdari Rad, Mahdi Jalili

Dynamical networks with diffusive couplings are investigated from the point of view of synchronizability. Arbitrary connection graphs are admitted but the coupling is symmetric. Networks with equal interaction coefficients for all edges of the interaction ...

A statistical physics perspective of complex networks

Thomas Petermann

A statistical physics perspective of complex networks: from the architecture of the Internet and the brain to the spreading of an epidemic Statistical physics has revealed itself as the ideal framework to describe large networks appearing in a variety of d ...
