Analysis and control of contagion processes on networks
We consider the propagation of a contagion process ("epidemic") on a network and study the problem of dynamically allocating a fixed curing budget to the nodes of the graph, at each time instant. We provide a dynamic policy for the rapid containment of a contagion process modeled as an SIS epidemic …

Rumor source identification, contagion processes, and dynamics of social network formation and evolution
In this dissertation, we consider two distinct, yet complementary, classes of inquiry. First we consider problems dealing with information flow, where function follows form. We look at how certain network structures affect information propagation in those networks, and what consequence that holds …

Understanding contagion spreading processes of cyber security threats through social networks
… of phenomena that can be studied and modelled as contagion processes on networks. Over the last decade, the unprecedented access to high resolution data about on/offline human interactions has shifted such studies from theoretical scholarly exercises to data-driven realistic models now used in a …

High Performance Computational Social Science Modeling of Networked Populations
Dynamics of social processes in populations, such as the spread of emotions, influence, opinions, and mass movements (often referred to individually and collectively as contagions), are increasingly studied because of their economic, social, and political impacts. Moreover, multiple contagions may …

Interdependent diffusion : the social contagion of interacting beliefs
… simplifying assumption in theories of social contagion is that ideas or beliefs spread from person to person in a social network without regard to other ideas or beliefs that spread concurrently. This assumption is both useful and generative, as it allows researchers to produce tractable …

A review, synthesis, and research agenda for the customer service experience, and an investigation of customer mistreatment dimensions
… service, including emotional labor and emotional contagion processes; (b) customer mistreatment; (c) customer service behaviors, including customer orientation and service-oriented citizenship behaviors. The culmination was a critical assessment of the 18 years literature and concluded a …

Generalizations of Threshold Graph Dynamical Systems
Dynamics of social processes in populations, such as the spread of emotions, influence, language, mass movements, and warfare (often referred to individually and collectively as contagions), are increasingly studied because of their social, political, and economic impacts. Discrete dynamical …

Providing High Performance Computing based Models as a Service: Architecture and Services for Modeling Contagions on Large Networked Populations
… where researchers study different forms of processes in networked populations, such as the spread of emotions, influence, opinions, flu, ebola, and mass movements. These processes often referred to individually and collectively as contagions. Contagions are increasingly studied because of …
