Network game with attacker and protector entities
Mavronicolas, Marios; Lesta, Vicky Papadopoulou; Philippou, Anna; Spirakis, Paul G. (2005)Consider an information network with harmful procedures called attackers (e.g., viruses)

A network game with attackers and a defender
Mavronicolas, Marios; Lesta, Vicky Papadopoulou; Philippou, Anna; Spirakis, Paul G. (2008)Consider an information network with threats called attackers

On the stability of compositions of universally stable, greedy contention-resolution protocols
Koukopoulos, D.; Mavronicolas, Marios; Nikoletseas, Sotiris E.; Spirakis, Paul G. (2002)A distinguishing feature of today’s large-scale platforms for distributed computation and communication, such as the Internet, is their heterogeneity, predominantly manifested by the fact that a wide variety of communication ...

Optimal, distributed decision-making: The case of no communication
Georgiades, Stavros; Mavronicolas, Marios; Spirakis, Paul G. (1999)We present a combinatorial framework for the study of a natural class of distributed optimization problems that involve decisionmaking by a collection of n distributed agents in the presence of incomplete information

Performance and stability bounds for dynamic networks
Koukopoulos, D.; Mavronicolas, Marios; Spirakis, Paul G. (2004)In this work, we study the impact of dynamically changing link capacities on the delay bounds of LIS (Longest-In-System) and SIS (Shortest-In-System) protocols on specific networks (that can be modelled as Directed Acyclic ...

The power of the defender
Gelastou, Marina; Mavronicolas, Marios; Lesta, Vicky Papadopoulou; Philippou, Anna; Spirakis, Paul G. (2006)We consider a security problem on a distributed network. We assume a network whose nodes are vulnerable to infection by threats (e.g. viruses), the attackers. A system security software, the defender, is available in the ...

The price of defense
Mavronicolas, Marios; Michael, Loizos; Lesta, Vicky Papadopoulou; Philippou, Anna; Spirakis, Paul G. (2006)We consider a strategic game with two classes of confronting randomized players on a graph G(V, E): v attackers, each choosing vertices and wishing to minimize the probability of being caught, and a defender, who chooses ...

The price of defense and fractional matchings
Mavronicolas, Marios; Lesta, Vicky Papadopoulou; Persiano, Giuseppe; Philippou, Anna; Spirakis, Paul G. (2006)Consider a network vulnerable to security attacks and equipped with defense mechanisms. How much is the loss in the provided security guarantees due to the selfish nature of attacks and defenses? The Price of Defense was ...

The price of selfish routing
Mavronicolas, Marios; Spirakis, Paul G. (2007)We study the problem of routing traffic through a congested network. We focus on the simplest case of a network consisting of m parallel links. We assume a collection of n network users

The price of selfish routing
Mavronicolas, Marios; Spirakis, Paul G. (2001)The problem of routing in congested communication networks was studied. A noncooperative network consisting of a set of m parallel links within a game theoretic framework was considered for analysis. A collection of n ...

Structure and complexity of extreme Nash equilibria
Gairing, M.; Lücking, T.; Mavronicolas, Marios; Monien, Burkhard; Spirakis, Paul G. (2005)We study extreme Nash equilibria in the context of a selfish routing game. Specifically, we assume a collection of n users, each employing a mixed strategy, which is a probability distribution over m parallel identical ...

The structure and complexity of Nash equilibria for a selfish routing game
Fotakis, Dimitris A.; Kontogiannis, Spyros C.; Koutsoupias, Elias; Mavronicolas, Marios; Spirakis, Paul G. (2009)In this work, we study the combinatorial structure and the computational complexity of Nash equilibria for a certain game that models selfish routing over a network consisting of m parallel links. We assume a collection ...

Which is the worst-case Nash equilibrium?
Lücking, T.; Mavronicolas, Marios; Monien, Burkhard; Rode, M.; Spirakis, Paul G.; Vrto, I. (2003)A Nash equilibrium of a routing network represents a stable state of the network where no user finds it beneficial to unilaterally deviate from its routing strategy. In this work, we investigate the structure of such ...
