Contact processes describe the transmission of distinct properties of nodes via the links of a network. They provide a simple framework for many phenomena, such as epidemic spreadi...
— It has been clear since 1988 that self-propagating code can quickly spread across a network by exploiting homogeneous security vulnerabilities. However, the last few years have...

We numerically investigate the epidemic spread phenomena and efficient immunization strategies on complex networks embedded in geometry. It is assumed that there exists an unavoida...
— In this paper we present analytical techniques that can be used to better understand the behavior of malware, a generic term that refers to all kinds of malicious software prog...
Targeted Immunization has been researched as an applicable measure for network epidemics. Unless global information is collected, existing targeted strategies are short of strengt...
