Abstract:
<p> The main purpose of this research is to discuss scenarios when some common dynamic changes happen to Wireless Sensor Networks/Autonomous Networked Robots, what the negative effect will be, along with our proposed strategies to keep networks resilient to such influence because communication between sensors/robots is fundamental to cooperation, hence the central role of the network. The first part of this dissertation considers scenarios where dynamic changes happen to static wireless sensor network, causing sensors in some sub-areas to not function anymore.

O atual sucesso da Internet vem inibindo a disseminação de novas arquiteturas e protocolos de rede. Especificamente, qualquer modificação no núcleo da rede requer comum acordo entre diversas partes.

Tal paradigma promove o desenvolvimento de novas arquiteturas e protocolos por meio da criação de múltiplas redes virtuais sobrepostas em um mesmo substrato físico.

Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited.<br>We define and solve two network-design problems. In the first, (1) a defender uses limited resources to select a portfolio of paths or design a sub-network; (2) an attacker then uses limited attack resources to destroy network arcs, and then (3) the defender operates the damaged network optimally by ending a shortest path. The solution identifies a network design that minimizes post-attack path length.

Abstract:
Air traffic networks are essential to today’s global society. They are the fastest means of transporting physical goods and people and are a major contributor to the globalisation of the world’s economy. This increasing reliance requires these networks to have high resilience; however, previous events show that they can be susceptible to natural hazards. We assess two strategies to improve the resilience of air traffic networks and show an adaptive reconfiguration strategy is superior to a permanent re-routing solution. We find that, if traffic networks have fixed air routes, the geographical

Thanks to the property of centralized control, SDN enables the flexibility of dispatching flow policies to simplify network management.

Abstract:
Error resilience is an important issue when coded video data is transmitted over wired and wireless networks. Errors can be introduced by network congestion, mis-routing and channel noise. These transmission errors can result in bit errors being introduced into the transmitted data or packets of data being completely lost. Consequently, the quality of the decoded video is degraded significantly. This thesis describes new techniques for minimising this degradation. To verify video error resilience tools, it is first necessary to consider the methods used to carry out experimental measurements.

Abstract:
The work presented in this Dissertation reflects a long-term human, professional and cultural path started some years ago when I first developed LogAnalysis, a tool for the analysis and visualization of criminal and social networks. Since then, I devoted myself to the development of frameworks, algorithms and techniques for supporting intelligence and law enforcement agencies in the task of unveiling the CN structure hidden in communication data, identifying the target offenders for their removal or selecting effective strategies to disrupt a criminal organization. In a natural way, I successi

Abstract:
Lean Management (LM) is a multi-faceted socio-technical approach that requires organizations to strive along several dimensions simultaneously. Initially, a conceptual model has been proposed for investigating the network of influences among lean practices, operational responsiveness and company growth performances in Italian companies. A structural equation modelling and a second order confirmatory factor analysis have been used to test the hypothesized relationships in the structural models. Secondly, including manufacturing firms belonging to 23 different countries, the factors influencin

Abstract:
Thesis advisor: Stephen P. Borgatti<br>This study was an investigation of the effects of social identity on career progression and career resilience. Particular attention was given to the predictive impact of social identity of membership in an identifiable professional sub-grouping. Using NCAA basketball coaches as an empirical setting, quantitative and qualitative analyses were conducted to predict the status of next employer for job seekers who voluntarily changed jobs (n = 282), and the employability resilience of job seekers who were fired (n = 151). Job seekers with the social identity o

Abstract:
When designing urban water systems (i.e. water distribution and sewer systems) it is imperative that uncertainty is taken into consideration. However, this is a challenging problem due to the inherent uncertainty associated with both system loading requirements and the potential for physical components failure. It is therefore desirable to improve the reliability of each system in order to account for these uncertainties. Although it is possible to directly evaluate the reliability of a water distribution systems (WDS) (using reliability measures), the calculation processes involved are comput

Abstract:
Studying recurrent mobility perturbations, such as traffic congestions, is a major concern of engineers, planners, and authorities as they not only bring about delay and inconvenience but also have consequent negative impacts like greenhouse gas emission, increase in fuel consumption, or safety issues. In this dissertation, we proposed using the resilience concept, which has been commonly used for assessing the impact of extreme events and disturbances on the transportation system, for high-probability low impact (HPLI) events to (a) provide a performance assessment framework for transportatio
