New Model of Internet Topology Using k-shell Decomposition
Shai Carmi, Shlomo Havlin, Scott Kirkpatrick +2
We introduce and use k-shell decomposition to investigate the topology of the Internet at the AS level. Our analysis separates the Internet into three sub-components: (a) a nucleus…
How Close to the Edge? Delay/utilization tradeoffs in MEC
Francesco Malandrino, Scott Kirkpatrick, Carla-Fabiana Chiasserini
Virtually all of the rapidly increasing data traffic consumed by mobile users requires some kind of processing, normally performed at cloud servers. A recent thrust, {\em mobile ed…
50 years of spin glass theory
David Sherrington, Scott Kirkpatrick
In 1975, two papers were published that together sparked major new directions, conceptual, mathematical and practically applicable, in several previously disparate fields of scienc…
Social Networks and Spin Glasses
Scott Kirkpatrick, Alex Kulakovsky, Manuel Cebrian +1
The networks formed from the links between telephones observed in a month's call detail records (CDRs) in the UK are analyzed, looking for the characteristics thought to identify a…
Simulated annealing, optimization, searching for ground states
Sergio Caracciolo, Alexander K. Hartmann, Scott Kirkpatrick +1
The chapter starts with a historical summary of first attempts to optimize the spin glass Hamiltonian, comparing it to recent results on searching largest cliques in random graphs.…
Impulse Measurement Methods for Pulsed Laser Ablation Propulsion
Ishaan Mishra, Scott Kirkpatrick
Pulsed laser ablation propulsion has the potential to revolutionize space exploration by eliminating the requirement of a spacecraft to carry its propellant and power source as the…
