This paper presents an analysis of some of the significant developments in time-varying network theory which have taken place during the past decade, with the emphasis placed on three topics: 1) characterization of time-varying networks, and in particular, transition from the impulsive response to the differential equation; 2) the problem of factorization, with emphasis on the contributions of ...

HTTP-based video streaming technologies allow for flexible rate selection strategies that account for time-varying network conditions. Such rate changes may adversely affect the user’s Quality of Experience; hence online prediction of the timevarying subjective quality can lead to perceptually optimized bitrate allocation policies. Recent studies have proposed to use dynamic network approaches ...

The Temporal Network Visualizer is an experimental system to perform real-time visualization of time varying network oriented data. It builds upon the concept of stripcharts to augment a user's memory of past events, enhancing the user's ability to recognize patterns that occur across time as well as space, patterns that we associate with causality. Examples are given for visualizing transactio...

We study the problem of computing minimum-cost paths through a time-varying network, in which the travel time and travel cost of each arc are known functions of one’s departure time along the arc. For some problem instances, the ability to wait at nodes may allow for less costly paths through the network. When waiting is allowed, it is constrained by a (potentially time-varying) waiting policy ...

1. Theory of graph-theoretical data analysis: a series of possible projects on the conceptual and mathematical extensions of techniques for the representation of data as graphs, and the coarsegraining of such representations. These include topics such as: * time-varying networks and their partitions: detecting break points using multidimensional algorithms * development of notions of robustness...

Travel times in congested transportation networks are time-varying quantities that can at best be known a priori probabilistically. In such networks, the arc weights (travel times) are represented by random variables whose probability distribution functions vary with time. These networks are referred to herein as stochastic, time-varying, or STV, networks. The determination of ‘‘least time’’ ro...

Social interactions vary in time and appear to be driven by intrinsic mechanisms, which in turn shape the emerging structure of the social network. Large-scale empirical observations of social interaction structure have become possible only recently, and modelling their dynamics is an actual challenge. Here we propose a temporal network model which builds on the framework of activitydriven time...

Microstructural examination can provide a rich tapestry of information about the processing and application history of a metal component. For this reason, microstructural characterization is a fundamental tool for failure analysis of these components. To reduce costs and accommodate demands for smaller packaging, many applications currently use metallic components where the critical dimensions ...

How strongly are foreign exchange markets linked in terms of their similarities long-run fluctuations? Are they cointegrating? To analyze such “comovements,” we present a time-varying cointegration model for the rates currencies Canada, Japan, and UK vis-à-vis U.S. dollar from May 1990 through July 2015. Unlike previous studies, allow loading matrix vector error-correction (VEC) to be varying o...
