We study the competition over epidemic networks within a game-theoretic framework. Based
on the homogeneous n-intertwined Markov model for epidemic spread, we introduce a novel …

Forming, in a decentralized fashion, an optimal network topology while balancing multiple,
possibly conflicting objectives like cost, high performance, security and resiliency to viruses …

The spread of epidemics and malware is commonly modeled by diffusion processes on
networks. Protective interventions such as vaccinations or installing anti-virus software are …

Designing an optimal network topology while balancing multiple, possibly conflicting
objectives such as cost, performance, and resiliency to viruses is a challenging endeavor, let …

This paper studies an SI 1 SI 2 S spreading model of two competing behaviors over a bilayer
network. In particular, we address the problem of determining resource allocation strategies …

Security breaches and attacks are critical problems in today's networking. A key-point is that
the security of each host depends not only on the protection strategies it chooses to adopt …

We investigate cascades in networks consisting of strategic agents with interdependent
security. We assume that the strategic agents have choices between (i) investing in …

In this paper, we study decentralized protection strategies against susceptible-infected-
susceptible epidemics on networks. We consider a population game framework where …
