Naively, one expects the information communicated by an enzyme downstream within a signaling network, in which is embedded, to grow monotonically with enzyme's rate of product formation. However, here we observe that this does not necessarily hold true for allosterically regulated enzymes, often observed networks. In particular, find mutual between catalytic sites and receiver protein pathway d...

Traditional top down specialisation techniques are not optimal to spe-cialise programs containing a lot of internal structure handling, such as programs containing abstract data types or meta programs. In this abstract , we discuss the diiculties top down specialisers have when special-ising these kinds of programs. The diiculties arise from the fact that unfolding works in a top down way, wher...

This paper draws on diverse areas of computer science to develop a unified view of computation: • Optimization in operations research, where a numerical objective function is maximized under constraints, is generalized from the numerical total order to a non-numerical partial order that can be interpreted in terms of information. • Relations are generalized so that there are relations of which ...

For the study of information propagation, one fundamental problem is uncovering universal laws governing the dynamics of information propagation. This problem, from the microscopic perspective, is formulated as estimating the propagation probability that a piece of information propagates from one individual to another. Such a propagation probability generally depends on two major classes of fac...

With the rapid growth of information and communication technology (ICT), the violation of information privacy has increased in recent years. The privacy concerns now re-emerge right because people perceives a threat from new ICT that are equipped with enhanced capabilities for surveillance, storage, retrieval, and diffusion of personal information. With the trend in the prevalence and the easy ...

We study the potential flow of information in interaction networks, that is, networks in which the interactions between the nodes are being recorded. The central notion in our study is that of an information channel. An information channel is a sequence of interactions between nodes forming a path in the network which respects the time order. As such, an information channel represents a potenti...

Networks with a community (or modular) structure underlie many social and biological phenomena. In such a network individuals tend to form sparsely linked local communities, each having dense internal connections. We investigate the dynamics of information propagation on modular networks by using a three-state epidemic model with a unit spreading rate (i.e., the probability for a susceptible in...

Blockchain technology, as a decentralized and non-hierarchical platform, has the potential to replace centralized systems. Yet, there are several challenges inherent in the blockchain structure. One of the deficiencies of the existing blockchains is a convenient information propagation technique enhancing incentive-compatibility and bandwidth efficiency. The transition from a centralized system...
