In this paper, the problem of finding both a minimum set of control nodes (control inputs) and a controller is studied. A control node corresponds to a gene that expression can be controlled. Here, a Boolean network is used as a model of gene regulatory networks, and control specifications on attractors, which represent cell types or states of cells, are imposed. It is important to design a gene regulatory network that has desired attractors and has no undesired attractors. Using a matrix-based representation of BNs, this problem can be rewritten as an integer linear programming problem. Finally, the proposed method is demonstrated by a numerical example on a WNT5A network, which is related to melanoma.展开更多

Most of the existing measurement methods focus on the analysis of the macro-characteristics of the network topology, but lacked a certain depth and expansion to explore the nature of the complexity of the software structure, for this purpose, the complex network control theory was applied to the study of software network controllability. Firstly, the Source-Driver (SD) model was established based on the system control theory, the driver node sets were obtained by the minimum input theorem in the control process of software network topology;Then the relationship between the degree and center degree, the relationship between the in-degree and the out-degree of the software network topology were further analyzed owing to the non-uniqueness of the driver node sets;Finally, the values of the four indicators in the software system were compared. Experimental results show that the driver node sets in the software networks are mainly composed of nodes with low degree values, but it does not mean that the nodes whose in-degree values and out-degree values are also low;The action on control nodes and driver nodes are not random, the controllability of the driver nodes is closely related to the in-degree, when selecting the driver node sets, the network topology characteristics should be considered comprehensively, and the nodes with high degree and center degree are the first choice. The results have important guiding significance for the control, maintenance and redesign of software architecture.展开更多

Maintaining connectivity in wireless networks is extremely difficult due to dynamic changing topology of MANETs. There are several techniques to understand the connectivity level for a given network topology. In this paper, we examine the existing methods and discuss the issues and challenges that are still insurmountable in order to enhance the connectivity properties of wireless multi hop networks.展开更多

Based on the authors' previous work,this paper proposes a receiver-controlled multi-node cooperation routing protocol,known as AODV-RCC. In this protocol,nodes form a cooperation group based on signal power. In a cooperation group,signal power between a partner and a transmitter,as well as signal power between the partner and the receiver,must be larger than the signal power between the transmitter and the receiver. Otherwise,the transmission will not benefit from cooperation. To avoid collision or congestion,each cooperation group only contains one partner. This partner offers both data and ACK cooperative retransmission. Its retransmission time should be shorter than the internal retry time of the transmitter's MAC layer,because it is better for the partner to retransmit firstly,as it offers a more reliable cooperative link. In AODV-RCC,it is the receiver that chooses the partner,because the link between the partner and the receiver is the most important. According to our simulation results,AODV-RCC shortens the end-to-end delay and increases the packet delivery ratio.展开更多

To reveal and analyze the inherent mechanism of synchronization in complex dynamical networks with time delays in nodes, this paper attempts to use PD and PI control protocols to achieve synchronization. Based on a classical network model, we investigate the PD and PI control for synchronization of complex dynamical networks with delayed nodes and obtain some sufficient conditions. By using Lyapunov functions and appropriate state transformations, we prove that global synchronization can be achieved via the above control protocols. Finally, some simulation examples are illustrated to validate the effectiveness of the proposed theoretical results.展开更多
