This paper establishes a novel Susceptible-Infected-Removed (SIR) rumor spreading model
for online social networks (OSNs). The model utilizes the node degree to describe the …

Our research is motivated by the rapidly-evolving outbreaks of rare and fatal infectious
diseases, for example, the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and the Middle East …

Vaccination is an effective method for prevention of infectious diseases, but when the
number of available vaccines is limited, it is not possible to vaccinate everyone in a society …

Given a subset of active nodes in a network can we reconstruct the cascade that has
generated these observations? This is a problem that has been studied in the literature, but …

Healthcare acquired infections (HAIs)(eg, Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus
infection) have complex transmission pathways, spreading not just via direct person-to …

An alarm is raised due to a defect in a transportation system. Given a graph over which the
alarms propagate, we aim to exploit a set of subgraphs with highly correlated nodes (or …

Inspired by a local version of the replicator dynamics, this work proposes a discrete-time
distributed algorithm that allows a connected group of nodes to dynamically achieve virus …

This paper investigates the control of a diffusion process by utilizing real-time information.
More specifically, we allow the network administrator to adjust the allocation of control …

We study the endemic behavior of a multi-competitive networked susceptible-infected-
susceptible (SIS) model. In particular, we focus on the case where there are three competing …

This paper proposes a novel graph structure to address the problems of information
spreading in a real-world, frequently updating graph, with two main contributions at hand …
