  • Impact of WDM Network Topology Characteristics on the Extent of Failure Losses

    Publication

    - Year 2010

    W artykule dokonano oceny wpływu charakterystyk topologicznych sieci na rozmiar strat po awarii węzła/łącza będącej następstwem ataku. W tym celu wprowadzono współczynnik ATRF. Wyniki badań pokazały, że wykorzystanie standardowej metryki odległości do wyznaczania tras podstawowych prowadzi do istotnego zwiększenia liczby połączeń uszkodzonych w wyniku ataku w porównaniu ze skutkami awarii losowej.

  • Topology recognition and leader election in colored networks

    Publication

    Topology recognition and leader election are fundamental tasks in distributed computing in networks. The first of them requires each node to find a labeled isomorphic copy of the network, while the result of the second one consists in a single node adopting the label 1 (leader), with all other nodes adopting the label 0 and learning a path to the leader. We consider both these problems in networks whose nodes are equipped with...

    - JOURNAL OF COMPUTER AND SYSTEM SCIENCES - Year 2017

    Mobile agents start at different nodes of an n-node network. The agents synchronously move along the network edges in a collision-free way, i.e., in no round two agents may occupy the same node. An agent has no knowledge of the number and initial positions of other agents. We are looking for the shortest time required to reach a configuration in which each agent has visited all nodes and returned to its starting location. In...

  • Network Graph Transformation Providing Fast Calculation of Paths for Resilient Routing

    Publication

    Protection of transmission against failures can be appropriately dealt with by alternative paths. However, common schemes (e.g., Bhandaris scheme) are characterized by a remarkable delay while determining the transmission paths. This in turn may have a serious impact on serving dynamic demands (characterized by relatively short duration time). As a remedy to this problem, we introduce an approach to pre-compute the sets of disjoint...
