An Efficient Routing Protocol for Quantum Key Distribution Networks

Quantum key distribution (QKD) can provide point-to-point information-theoretic secure key services for two connected users. In fact, the development of QKD networks needs more focus from the scientific community in order to broaden the service scale of QKD technology to deliver end-to-end secure key services. Of course, some recent efforts have been made to develop secure communication protocols based on QKD. However, due to the limited key generation capability of QKD devices, high quantum secure key utilization is the major concern for QKD networks. Since traditional routing techniques do not account for the state of quantum secure keys on links, applying them in QKD networks directly will result in underutilization of quantum secure keys. Therefore, an efficient routing protocol for QKD networks, especially for large-scale QKD networks, is desperately needed. In this study, an efficient routing protocol based on optimized link-state routing, namely QOLSR, is proposed for QKD networks. QOLSR considerably improves quantum key utilization in QKD networks through link-state awareness and path optimization. Simulation results demonstrate the validity and efficiency of the proposed QOLSR routing protocol. Most importantly, with the growth of communication traffic, the benefit becomes even more apparent.     

Identifying Important Nodes in Complex Networks Based on Node Propagation Entropy

In recent years, the identification of the essential nodes in complex networks has attracted significant attention because of their theoretical and practical significance in many applications, such as preventing and controlling epidemic diseases and discovering essential proteins. Several importance measures have been proposed from diverse perspectives to identify crucial nodes more accurately. In this paper, we propose a novel importance metric called node propagation entropy, which uses a combination of the clustering coefficients of nodes and the influence of the first- and second-order neighbor numbers on node importance to identify essential nodes from an entropy perspective while considering the local and global information of the network. Furthermore, the susceptible–infected–removed and susceptible–infected–removed–susceptible epidemic models along with the Kendall coefficient are used to reveal the relevant correlations among the various importance measures. The results of experiments conducted on several real networks from different domains show that the proposed metric is more accurate and stable in identifying significant nodes than many existing techniques, including degree centrality, betweenness centrality, closeness centrality, eigenvector centrality, and H-index.     

Node Importance Identification for Temporal Networks Based on Optimized Supra-Adjacency Matrix

The research on node importance identification for temporal networks has attracted much attention. In this work, combined with the multi-layer coupled network analysis method, an optimized supra-adjacency matrix (OSAM) modeling method was proposed. In the process of constructing an optimized super adjacency matrix, the intra-layer relationship matrixes were improved by introducing the edge weight. The inter-layer relationship matrixes were formed by improved similarly and the inter-layer relationship is directional by using the characteristics of directed graphs. The model established by the OSAM method accurately expresses the structure of the temporal network and considers the influence of intra- and inter-layer relationships on the importance of nodes. In addition, an index was calculated by the average of the sum of the eigenvector centrality indices for a node in each layer and the node importance sorted list was obtained from this index to express the global importance of nodes in temporal networks. The experimental results on three real temporal network datasets Enron, Emaildept3, and Workspace showed that compared with the SAM and the SSAM methods, the OSAM method has a faster message propagation rate and larger message coverage and better SIR and NDCG@10 indicators.

Identifying Influential Nodes in Complex Networks Based on Multiple Local Attributes and Information Entropy

Identifying influential nodes in complex networks has attracted the attention of many researchers in recent years. However, due to the high time complexity, methods based on global attributes have become unsuitable for large-scale complex networks. In addition, compared with methods considering only a single attribute, considering multiple attributes can enhance the performance of the method used. Therefore, this paper proposes a new multiple local attributes-weighted centrality (LWC) based on information entropy, combining degree and clustering coefficient; both one-step and two-step neighborhood information are considered for evaluating the influence of nodes and identifying influential nodes in complex networks. Firstly, the influence of a node in a complex network is divided into direct influence and indirect influence. The degree and clustering coefficient are selected as direct influence measures. Secondly, based on the two direct influence measures, we define two indirect influence measures: two-hop degree and two-hop clustering coefficient. Then, the information entropy is used to weight the above four influence measures, and the LWC of each node is obtained by calculating the weighted sum of these measures. Finally, all the nodes are ranked based on the value of the LWC, and the influential nodes can be identified. The proposed LWC method is applied to identify influential nodes in four real-world networks and is compared with five well-known methods. The experimental results demonstrate the good performance of the proposed method on discrimination capability and accuracy.     

Research on Community Detection in Complex Networks Based on Internode Attraction

With the rapid development of computer technology, the research on complex networks has attracted more and more attention. At present, the research directions of cloud computing, big data, internet of vehicles, and distributed systems with very high attention are all based on complex networks. Community structure detection is a very important and meaningful research hotspot in complex networks. It is a difficult task to quickly and accurately divide the community structure and run it on large-scale networks. In this paper, we put forward a new community detection approach based on internode attraction, named IACD. This algorithm starts from the perspective of the important nodes of the complex network and refers to the gravitational relationship between two objects in physics to represent the forces between nodes in the network dataset, and then perform community detection. Through experiments on a large number of real-world datasets and synthetic networks, it is shown that the IACD algorithm can quickly and accurately divide the community structure, and it is superior to some classic algorithms and recently proposed algorithms.

基于节能的绿色光网络路由算法的研究

在传统的网络路由算法中,一般采用最短路径算法进行路由选路,最短路径算法以节点间的距离为权重,计算一条由源节点至目的节点的权重最小的路径以完成路由。最短路径算法虽然最小化了距离长度代价,却没有考虑能耗问题,所以使用最短路径算法所得出路径的能耗并不一定是最小的。针对这一问题,提出一种新型的综合性绿色路由算法,设定能耗作为节点间的权重,融合光旁路及业务量疏导,同时考虑路由和波长分配(RWA)问题,将完成每个业务所需要的能耗最小化,实现节能。仿真结果表明,与最短路径算法相比,绿色路由算法在较大规模网络中能够节省约40%的能耗,节能效果相当显著。

An Efficient Partition-Based Approach to Identify and Scatter Multiple Relevant Spreaders in Complex Networks

One of the main problems in graph analysis is the correct identification of relevant nodes for spreading processes. Spreaders are crucial for accelerating/hindering information diffusion, increasing product exposure, controlling diseases, rumors, and more. Correct identification of spreaders in graph analysis is a relevant task to optimally use the network structure and ensure a more efficient flow of information. Additionally, network topology has proven to play a relevant role in the spreading processes. In this sense, more of the existing methods based on local, global, or hybrid centrality measures only select relevant nodes based on their ranking values, but they do not intentionally focus on their distribution on the graph. In this paper, we propose a simple yet effective method that takes advantage of the underlying graph topology to guarantee that the selected nodes are not only relevant but also well-scattered. Our proposal also suggests how to define the number of spreaders to select. The approach is composed of two phases: first, graph partitioning; and second, identification and distribution of relevant nodes. We have tested our approach by applying the SIR spreading model over nine real complex networks. The experimental results showed more influential and scattered values for the set of relevant nodes identified by our approach than several reference algorithms, including degree, closeness, Betweenness, VoteRank, HybridRank, and IKS. The results further showed an improvement in the propagation influence value when combining our distribution strategy with classical metrics, such as degree, outperforming computationally more complex strategies. Moreover, our proposal shows a good computational complexity and can be applied to large-scale networks.     

LPA-MNI: An Improved Label Propagation Algorithm Based on Modularity and Node Importance for Community Detection

Community detection is of great significance in understanding the structure of the network. Label propagation algorithm (LPA) is a classical and effective method, but it has the problems of randomness and instability. An improved label propagation algorithm named LPA-MNI is proposed in this study by combining the modularity function and node importance with the original LPA. LPA-MNI first identify the initial communities according to the value of modularity. Subsequently, the label propagation is used to cluster the remaining nodes that have not been assigned to initial communities. Meanwhile, node importance is used to improve the node order of label updating and the mechanism of label selecting when multiple labels are contained by the maximum number of nodes. Extensive experiments are performed on twelve real-world networks and eight groups of synthetic networks, and the results show that LPA-MNI has better accuracy, higher modularity, and more reasonable community numbers when compared with other six algorithms. In addition, LPA-MNI is shown to be more robust than the traditional LPA algorithm.

An Influence Maximization Algorithm for Dynamic Social Networks Based on Effective Links

The connection between users in social networks can be maintained for a certain period of time, and the static network structure formed provides the basic conditions for various kinds of research, especially for discovering customer groups that can generate great influence, which is important for product promotion, epidemic prevention and control, and public opinion supervision, etc. However, the computational process of influence maximization ignores the timeliness of interaction behaviors among users, the screened target users cannot diffuse information well, and the time complexity of relying on greedy rules to handle the influence maximization problem is high. Therefore, this paper analyzes the influence of the interaction between nodes in dynamic social networks on information dissemination, extends the classical independent cascade model to a dynamic social network dissemination model based on effective links, and proposes a two-stage influence maximization solution algorithm (Outdegree Effective Link—OEL) based on node degree and effective links to enhance the efficiency of problem solving. In order to verify the effectiveness of the algorithm, five typical influence maximization methods are compared and analyzed on four real data sets. The results show that the OEL algorithm has good performance in propagation range and running time.

Modified DM Models for Aging Networks Based on Neighborhood Connectivity

Two modified Dorogovtsev-Mendes （DM） models of aging networks based on the dynamics of connecting nearest-neighbors are introduced. One edge of the new site is connected to the old site with probability - kt^-α as in the DM＇s model, where the degree and age of the old site are k and t, respectively.
