Millimeter wave communications : from point-to-point links to agile network connections
… technologies promise to revolutionize wireless networks by enabling multi-gigabit data rates. However, they suffer from high attenuation, and hence have to use highly directional antennas to focus their power on the receiver. Existing radios have to scan the space to find the best alignment …

Understanding diffusion of evidence-based community cancer care: A case study of network connections in an integrated health system
… evidence-based, high-quality cancer care. Networks that connect community clinics and academic medical centers hold potential to address these disparities by creating avenues for knowledge diffusion and access to specialty care, but research on networks is mixed and understanding of the …

Punching Holes in the Cloud: Direct Communication between Serverless Functions Using NAT Traversal
… are expensive. We evaluate the use of direct network connections between functions to overcome these limitations. Although function containers block incoming connections, we are able to bypass this restriction using standard NAT traversal techniques. By using an external server, we implement …

Collective behavior over social networks with data-driven and machine learning models
Individuals form network connections based on homophily; individuals' networks also shape their actions. Pervasive behavioral data provides opportunities for a richer view of the decisions on networks. Yet, the increasing volume, complex structures, and dynamics of behavioral data stretch the limit …

Analytic search methods in online social networks
… awareness. We begin by proposing a method for network vertex search that looks for the target vertex by sequentially examining the neighbors of a set of "known" vertices. Using a dynamic programming approach, we show that there is always an optimal "block" search policy, in which all of the …

Design and implementation of a generalized device interconnect
… way services are provided and utilized over a network. This thesis explores a new paradigm in establishing network connections between devices, where these devices are no longer divided into server and client, but are instead peers of each other. In this new paradigm, the flow of data is …

Identifying the origins of business’ data breaches utilizing covert timing channels
… there is a heavy reliance of organizations upon network connections to connect the entire organization in order to conduct business efficiently and from multiple locations. Covert timing channels are a cybersecurity attack method in which malicious actors embed privileged information into normal …
