The future uptake of electric vehicles (EV) in low-voltage distribution networks can cause increased voltage violations and thermal overloading of network assets, especially in networks with limited headroom at times of high or peak demand. To address this problem, this paper proposes a distributed battery energy storage solution, controlled using an additive increase multiplicative decrease (A...

It is common for the network topology to change during its operation, which demands that the network defense system adapt itself for the current topology. Aiming at such need, this paper provides a novel defense model for the dynamic topology network, which includes three modules: network topology discovery, adaptive agents re-configuration mechanism and active defense. The model is based on mo...

This paper studies robust network recovery method using logical ring architecture embedded in network topology. We present topology information based capacity provisioning methods for WDM optical networks which are widly used as a backbone architecture of current Internet. The efficiency of spare capacity provisioning is a key issue in survivable network design. In the methods, the spare wavele...

This paper examines the use of visualisation as an augmentation to networked musical performance to allow performers to anticipate the actions of other remote participants, and enhance audiences experience and engagement with network topology in a performance context. Specifically, we address considerations made when developing a visualisation made for the participative network performance work...

In this paper we investigate the problem of finding a layer2 network topology when the information available from SNMP MIB is incomplete. We prove that finding a network topology in this case is NPhard. We further prove that deciding whether the given information defines a unique network topology is a co-NP-hard problem. We show that if there is a single node r such that every other network nod...

VoIP(Voice over IP), so called Internet phone, provides several unique advantages, for instance, inexpensive long distance call service than the existing wire telephone network and various multimedia services from Internet network added to voice call service. This has been widely discussed and has been a research topic throughout the developed countries in the recent years. The paper is intende...

Stable networks of order  where  is a natural number refer to those networks that are immune to coalitional deviation of size  or less. In this paper, we introduce stability of a finite order and examine its relation with efficient networks under anonymous and component additive value functions and the component-wise egalitarian allocation rule. In particular, we examine shapes of networks o...

The main approaches for the formation of generalized conclusions about operation quality of complex hierarchical network systems are analyzed. Advantages and drawbacks of the “weakest” element method and a weighted linear aggregation method are determined. Nonlinear aggregation method is proposed for evaluating the quality of the system, which consists of elements of the same priority. Hybrid a...
