Multiplex Conductance and Gossip Based Information Spreading in Multiplex Networks

Asynchronous Gossip in Multiplex Networks

In this work, we take a first step to investigate information spreading in multiplex networks, adopting the gossip (randomwalk) based model. Two key features of multiplex networks allow potentially much faster information spreading: availability of multiple channels and communication actions for each user, and more choices on neighbor contacting. As a first work in this area, we explored the im...

Layer-crossing overhead and information spreading in multiplex social networks

Parasite spreading in spatial ecological multiplex networks

Network ecology is a rising field of quantitative biology representing ecosystems as complex networks. A suitable example is parasite spreading: several parasites may be transmitted among their hosts through different mechanisms, each one giving rise to a network of interactions. Modelling these networked, ecological interactions at the same time is still an open challenge. We present a novel s...

Suppressing disease spreading by using information diffusion on multiplex networks

Although there is always an interplay between the dynamics of information diffusion and disease spreading, the empirical research on the systemic coevolution mechanisms connecting these two spreading dynamics is still lacking. Here we investigate the coevolution mechanisms and dynamics between information and disease spreading by utilizing real data and a proposed spreading model on multiplex n...

Gossip - based Information Spreading in Mobile and Social Networks

HUANG, YUFAN. Gossip-based Information Spreading in Mobile and Social Networks. (Under the direction of Dr. Huaiyu Dai.) We study the performance of gossip-based information spreading in different network models. Our study is conducted in two major different circumstances: mobile networks and social networks. In mobile networks, we mainly study two problems: single-piece information spreading w...
