Information hovering is relevant in vehicular ad hoc networks in cases where critical information needs to be made available to all vehicles in a bounded geographical area, called the hovering area, for a specific amount ...

Methods from game theory and mechanism design have been proven to be a powerful mathematical tool in order to understand, control, and efficiently design dynamic, complex networks, such as the Internet. Game theory provides ...

The high popularity of Wi-Fi technology for wireless access has led to a common problem of densely deployed access points (APs) in residential or commercial buildings, competing to use the same or overlapping frequency ...

This paper focuses on coexistence and self-coexistence challenges between secondary heterogeneous wireless networks/users sharing TV Whitespace spectrum. The coexistence problems arise from having several primary and ...

Consider a network vulnerable to viral infection, where the security software can guarantee safety only to a limited part of it. We model this practical network scenario as a non-cooperative multi-player game on a graph, ...

In a distributed system with attacks and defenses, an economic investment in defense mechanisms aims at increasing the degree of system protection against the attacks. We study such investments in the selfish setting, where ...

Urban residential areas are becoming increasingly dense with more and more wireless home networks being deployed in close proximity. Considering that in such a dense urban residential area, each unit has its own wireless ...

Consider an information network with threats called attackers

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 ...

A significant issue in vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) is the design of an effective broadcast scheme that can facilitate the fast and reliable dissemination of emergency warning messages in the vicinity of an unexpected ...
