Defend against advanced persistent threats: An optimal control approach
Pengdeng Li, Lu-Xing Yang, Xiaofan Yang +3
The new cyber attack pattern of advanced persistent threat (APT) has posed a serious threat to modern society. This paper addresses the APT defense problem, i.e., the problem of ho…
A cost-effective rumor-containing strategy
Cheng Pan, Lu-Xing Yang, Xiaofan Yang +2
This paper addresses the issue of suppressing a rumor using the truth in a cost-effective way. First, an individual-level dynamical model capturing the rumor-truth mixed spreading…
Security evaluation of cyber networks under advanced persistent threats
Lu-Xing Yang, Pengdeng Li, Xiaofan Yang +3
This paper is devoted to measuring the security of cyber networks under advanced persistent threats (APTs). First, an APT-based cyber attack-defense process is modeled as an indivi…
Assessing the risk of advanced persistent threats
Xiaofan Yang, Tianrui Zhang, Lu-Xing Yang +2
As a new type of cyber attacks, advanced persistent threats (APTs) pose a severe threat to modern society. This paper focuses on the assessment of the risk of APTs. Based on a dyna…
The damage inflicted by a computer virus: A new estimation method
Jichao Bi, Lu-Xing Yang, Xiaofan Yang +2
This paper addressed the issue of estimating the damage caused by a computer virus. First, an individual-level delayed SIR model capturing the spreading process of a digital virus…
On the effectiveness of the truth-spreading/rumor-blocking strategy for restraining rumors
Lu-Xing Yang, Tianrui Zhang, Xiaofan Yang +2
Spreading truths and blocking rumors are two typical strategies for inhibiting rumors. In practice, a tradeoff between the two strategies, which is known as the TSRB strategy, may…
Analysis of the effectiveness of the truth-spreading strategy for inhibiting rumors
Lu-Xing Yang, Pengdeng Li, Xiaofan Yang +2
Spreading truths is recognized as a feasible strategy for inhibiting rumors. This paper is devoted to assessing the effectiveness of the truth-spreading strategy. An individual-lev…
Distributed interaction between computer virus and patch: A modeling study
Lu-Xing Yang, Xiaofan Yang, Qingyi Zhu +1
The decentralized patch distribution mechanism holds significant promise as an alternative to its centralized counterpart. For the purpose of accurately evaluating the performance…
Maximizing the overall profit of a word-of-mouth marketing campaign: A modeling study
Pengdeng Li, Xiaofan Yang, Lu-Xing Yang +3
As compared to the traditional advertising, the word-of-mouth (WOM) communications have striking advantages such as significantly lower cost and rapid delivery; this is especially…
A discount strategy in word-of-mouth marketing and its assessment
Tianrui Zhang, Xiaofan Yang, Lu-Xing Yang +2
This paper addresses the discount pricing in word-of-mouth (WOM) marketing. A new discount strategy known as the Infection-Based Discount (IBD) strategy is proposed. The basic idea…
Hamiltonian Connectivity of Twisted Hypercube-Like Networks under the Large Fault Model
Qiang Dong, Hui Gao, Yan Fu +1
Twisted hypercube-like networks (THLNs) are an important class of interconnection networks for parallel computing systems, which include most popular variants of the hypercubes, su…
