The Large-Scale Organization of Metabolic Networks

by H. Jeong, B. Tombor, R. Albert, Z. N. Oltvai, A.-L. Barabási , 2000
"... In a cell or microorganism the processes that generate mass, energy, information transfer, and cell fate specification are seamlessly integrated through a complex network of various cellular constituents and reactions. However, despite the key role these networks play in sustaining various cellular ..."

functions, their large-scale structure is essentially unknown. Here we present the first systematic comparative mathematical analysis of the metabolic networks of 43 organisms representing all three domains of life. We show that, despite significant variances in their individual constituents and pathways

Pregel: A system for large-scale graph processing

by Grzegorz Malewicz, Matthew H. Austern, Aart J. C. Bik, James C. Dehnert, Ilan Horn, Naty Leiser, Grzegorz Czajkowski - IN SIGMOD , 2010
"... Many practical computing problems concern large graphs. Standard examples include the Web graph and various social networks. The scale of these graphs—in some cases billions of vertices, trillions of edges—poses challenges to their efficient processing. In this paper we present a computational model ..."

The Sybil Attack

by John Douceur, Judith S. Donath , 2002
"... Large-scale peer-to-peer systems face security threats from faulty or hostile remote computing elements. To resist these threats, many such systems employ redundancy. However, if a single faulty entity can present multiple identities, it can control a substantial fraction of the system, thereby unde ..."

SCRIBE: A large-scale and decentralized application-level multicast infrastructure

by Miguel Castro, Peter Druschel, Anne-Marie Kermarrec, Antony Rowstron - IEEE JOURNAL ON SELECTED AREAS IN COMMUNICATIONS (JSAC , 2002
"... This paper presents Scribe, a scalable application-level multicast infrastructure. Scribe supports large numbers of groups, with a potentially large number of members per group. Scribe is built on top of Pastry, a generic peer-to-peer object location and routing substrate overlayed on the Internet, ..."

Scribe to provide stronger reliability. Simulation results, based on a realistic network topology model, show that Scribe scales across a wide range of groups and group sizes. Also, it balances the load on the nodes while achieving acceptable delay and link stress when compared to IP multicast.

GloMoSim: A Library for Parallel Simulation of Large-scale Wireless Networks

by Xiang Zeng, Rajive Bagrodia, Mario Gerla - in Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Simulation , 1998
"... A number of library-based parallel and sequential network simulators have been designed. This paper describes a library, called GloMoSim (for Global Mobile system Simulator), for parallel simulation of wireless networks. GloMoSim has been designed to be extensible and composable: the communication p ..."

LEAP: Efficient Security Mechanisms for Large-scale Distributed Sensor Networks

by Sencun Zhu , 2003
"... Protocol), a key management protocol for sensor networks that is designed to support in-network processing, while at the same time restricting the security impact of a node compromise to the immediate network neighborhood of the compromised node. The design of the protocol is motivated by the observ ..."

Error and attack tolerance of complex networks

by Réka Albert, Hawoong Jeong, Albert-László Barabási , 2000
"... Many complex systems display a surprising degree of tolerance against errors. For example, relatively simple organisms grow, persist and reproduce despite drastic pharmaceutical or environmental interventions, an error tolerance attributed to the robustness of the underlying metabolic network [1]. C ..."

In this paper we demonstrate that error tolerance is not shared by all redundant systems, but it is displayed only by a class of inhomogeneously wired networks, called scale-free networks. We find that scale-free networks, describing a

Pastry: Scalable, distributed object location and routing for large-scale peer-to-peer systems

Network Coding for Large Scale Content Distribution

by Christos Gkantsidis, Pablo Rodriguez Rodriguez
"... We propose a new scheme for content distribution of large files that is based on network coding. With network coding, each node of the distribution network is able to generate and transmit encoded blocks of information. The randomization introduced by the coding process eases the scheduling of bloc ..."
