Read online book Malware Diffusion Models for Modern Complex Networks : Theory and Applications PDF
9780128027141 English 0128027142 " Malware Diffusion Models for Wireless Complex Networks: Theory and Applications" provides a timely update on malicious software (malware), a serious concern for all types of network users, from laymen to experienced administrators. As the proliferation of portable devices, namely smartphones and tablets, and their increased capabilities, has propelled the intensity of malware spreading and increased its consequences in social life and the global economy, this book provides the theoretical aspect of malware dissemination, also presenting modeling approaches that describe the behavior and dynamics of malware diffusion in various types of wireless complex networks. Sections include a systematic introduction to malware diffusion processes in computer and communications networks, an analysis of the latest state-of-the-art malware diffusion modeling frameworks, such as queuing-based techniques, calculus of variations based techniques, and game theory based techniques, also demonstrating how the methodologies can be used for modeling in more general applications and practical scenarios. Presents a timely update on malicious software (malware), a serious concern for all types of network users, from laymen to experienced administratorsSystematically introduces malware diffusion processes, providing the relevant mathematical backgroundDiscusses malware modeling frameworks and how to apply them to complex wireless networksProvides guidelines and directions for extending the corresponding theories in other application domains, demonstrating such possibility by using application models in information dissemination scenarios, A single Comprehensive reference dedicated to malware diffusion models. Malicious software (malware) has become a serious concern for all types of network users, from laymen to experienced administrators. The proliferation of portable devices, especially smartphones and tablets, and their increased capabilities, have propelled the intensity of malware spreading and increased its consequences in social life and the global economy. Malware Diffusion Models for Modern Complex Networks focuses on the theoretical aspects of such malware dissemination and presents mathematical approaches that describe the behavior and dynamics of malware diffusion in various types of modern complex networks. The main objective of this book is the presentation and analysis of families of different mathematical methodologies that can be used for modeling generically malware diffusion, in modern and especially wireless complex networks. Part 1 presnets a systematic introduction to malware diffusion processes in computer and communications networks, while also systematically summarizing some of the earlier but valuable modeling approaches, Part 2 provides an analysis of the latest state-of-the-art malware diffusion modeling frameworks, which are based on diverse mathematical foundations, such as queuing-based techniques, Markov Random Filed based approaches, optimal control based techniques, and game theory based techniques. It then offers a qualitative comparison of the state-of-the-art modeling approaches to aid in the selection of the most appropriate one for given application scenarios. Part 3 puts in perspective several of the models and approaches presented in the previous chapters, while demonstrating how the methodologies can be used for modeling in more general applications and into more practice scenarios. Finally, three appendices provide some of the fundamental background required for understanding the content of the book covering elements of differential equations, queuing theory and optimal control theory.
