Distributed networks have attracted much attention due to their scalability and
inexpensiveness as compared to traditional centralized networks. While distributed networks …

Recently, in contrast with the centralized net-works (eg, traditional client/server systems), the
distributed networks such as Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks and grid networks have attracted …

A network architecture with bimodal degree distribution robust for both random failures and
targeted attacks has been proposed. This paper studies the robustness of “n-Star” network …

Many real-world networks show a scale-free degree distribution, a structure that is known to
be very stable in case of random failures. Unfortunately, the very same structure makes the …

Realization of highly tolerant networks against malicious attacks is an important issue, since
many real-world networks are extremely vulnerable to attacks. Thus, we investigate the …

The fault tolerance of scale-free networks is examined in this paper. Through the simulation
on the changes of the average path length and network fragmentation of the Barabasi-Albert …

The structure of the Maritime Distributed Combat network and its emergent characteristics of
efficiency and resilience are the core issues in the design of the system. Drawing on the …

Cascading failure in a network refers to a situation when the failure of a node causes the
failure of its neighbouring nodes, which in turn leads to the failure of other nodes in the …

Error tolerance and attack vulnerability of scale-free networks are usually used to evaluate
the robustness of these networks. While new forms of attacks are developed everyday to …

With the enlargement of sizes of networks, scale-free property of networks is present.
However, scale-free networks are fragile. If the nodes with most degree are attacked, the …
