We consider the propagation of a contagion process (“epidemic”) on a network and study
the problem of dynamically allocating a fixed curing budget to the nodes of the graph, at …

In this paper, we analyze a large class of dynamic resource allocation (DRA) strategies,
named priority planning, that aim to suppress SIS epidemics taking place in a network. This …

The design of an efficient curing policy, able to stem an epidemic process at an affordable
cost, has to account for the structure of the population contact network supporting the …

Coupling cyber and physical systems gives rise to numerous engineering challenges and
opportunities. An important challenge is the contagion of failure from one system to another …

Epidemic models are increasingly used in real-world networks to understand diffusion
phenomena (such as the spread of diseases, emotions, innovations, failures) or the …

We develop a feedback control method for networked epidemic spreading processes. In
contrast to most prior works which consider mean field, open-loop control schemes, the …

A computer malware is a malicious code that compromises a node and then attempts to
infect the node's neighbors in order to mount further attacks. Strategies for mitigating …

This dissertation studies two important topics regarding the resiliency and the security of
cyber-physical systems (CPSs). In the first work, a self-healing graphical representation is …
