The dynamics of noise-resilient Boolean networks with majority functions and diverse topologies is investigated. A wide class of possible topological configurations is parametrized as a stochastic blockmodel. For this class of networks, the dynamics always undergoes a phase transition from a non-ergodic regime, where a memory of its past states is preserved, to an ergodic regime, where no such ...

A cryptographic primitive is leakage-resilient, if it remains secure even if an adversary can learn a bounded amount of arbitrary information about the computation with every invocation. As a consequence, the physical implementation of a leakage-resilient primitive is secure against every side-channel as long as the amount of information leaked per invocation is bounded. In this paper we prove ...

Recent studies have demonstrated the existence of community structure and rich club nodes, (i.e., highly interconnected, high degree hub nodes), in human brain functional networks. The cognitive relevance of the detected modules and hubs has also been demonstrated, for both task based and default mode networks, suggesting that the brain selforganizes into patterns of co-activated sets of region...

Modern broadband telecommunication networks are based on multiple transport technologies such as Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM), Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) and Wavelength Division Multiplex (WDM). For resilient networks, recovery mechanisms are existent in each technology. The coordination or interworking aspects of the single layer recovery mechanisms is a challenging problem and ma...

In this work we investigate the issue of automated design of Wireless Mesh Networks (WMN). The general scenario we envision is that of constructing WMNs with WLAN as clients and a mesh network to provide inter-WLAN as well as gateway connectivity. Our main aim in this work is to a) design capacityconstrained WMNs, b) build resilient WMNs with transient demands.
