The reliability of peers is very important for safe communication in peer-to-peer (P2P) systems. The reliability of a peer can be evaluated based on the reputation and interactions with other peers to provide different ...

In this paper, we present a model for the spatial and temporal evolution of a particularly large human-made network: the 400-kV French transmission power grid. This is based on 1) an attachment procedure that diminishes ...

In a City Council, as in any other company, the IT and systems areas are both essential for the internal operations of the Organization and for the proper provision of services to Citizens and the rest of Public Administrations. ...

Telecom operators are starting the deployment of Content Delivery Networks (CDN) to better control and manage video contents injected into the network. Cache nodes placed close to end users can manage contents and adapt ...

In this work, we describe the development of a system that aims to deal with different communication means when operating in a network of heterogeneous systems with ad-hoc behaviour that has proved helpful in real-life ...

This research report is a preliminary publication of the proceedings of the European VIM project Workshop on Collaboration between Human and Artificial Societies, hold in Lanjaron (Granada), Spain, in May 1-3, . The report ...

Synchronization within the dynamical nodes of a complex network is usually considered homogeneous through all the nodes. Here we show, in contrast, that subsets of interacting oscillators may synchronize in different ways ...

During the last 50 years, the urban and infrastructure development derived from tourism exploitation of this territory has become the Costa del Sol into a recognizable entity, made of fragments with different characteri ...

In this paper, the design of highly synchronizable, sparse and robust dynamical networks is addressed. Better synchronizability means faster synchronization of the oscillators, sparsity means a low ratio of links per ...
