The dynamic topology design is one of the important steps for the design of an overlay network. Traffic characteristic and volume, and behavior of nodes are the main issues that affect the performance of overlay networks, and have to be considered in designing a good topology. In this paper, we study the problem of designing the dynamic overlay topology based on estimating and predicting the Or...

We are engaged in a major effort to design decentralied controllers for modern networks, that is fundamentally based on 1) applying feedback of multiple derivatives of local observations and 2) implementing these derivative feedbacks using multiple-delay controllers. Here, we fully motivate and introduce the design paradigm in the context of a canonical sensing-network model, namely a network o...

The design of large-scale sensor networks interconnecting various sensor nodes has spurred a great deal of interest due to its wide variety of applications. Data fusion is a critical step in designing a wireless sensor network as it handles data acquired by sensory devices. Wireless sensor networks allow distributed sensing and signal processing while collaborating during energy efficient opera...

The design of efficient communication networks is a challenging task for modern vehicle development. Due to novel technologies and new degrees of freedom in network design, the decision on a bus topology has a severe impact on the overall system cost and performance. In this work, we propose a topology and routing optimization using Evolutionary Algorithms and problem-specific encoding. Our con...

Designing storage area networks is an NP-hard problem. Previous work has focused on traditional algorithmic techniques to automatically determine fabric requirements, network topology, and flow routes. This paper presents work performed with a genetic algorithm to both improve designs developed with heuristic techniques and to create new designs. For some small networks (10 hosts, 10 devices, a...

A Peer-to-Peer (P2P) network can boost its performance if peers are provided with underlying network-layer routing topology. The task of inferring the network-layer routing topology and link performance from an end host to a set of other hosts is termed as network tomography, and it normally requires host computers to send probing messages. We design a passive network tomography method that doe...

This paper is concerned with the consensus tracking problem of high order MIMO nonlinear multi-agent systems. The agents must follow a leader node in presence of unknown dynamics and uncertain external disturbances. The communication network topology of agents is assumed to be a fixed undirected graph. A distributed adaptive control method is proposed to solve the consensus problem utilizing re...

Dynamic neural network algorithms are used for automatic network design in order to avoid time consuming search for finding an appropriate network topology with trial & error methods. The new FlexNet algorithm, unlike other network construction algorithms, does not underlie any constraints regarding the number of hidden layers and hidden units. In addition different connection strategies are av...
