Abundant examples of complex transaction-oriented networks (TONs) can be found in a variety of disciplines, including information and communication technology, finances, commodity trading, and real estate. A transaction in a TON is executed as a sequence of subtransactions associated with the network nodes, and is committed if every subtransaction is committed. A subtransaction incurs a two-fold overhead on the host node: the fixed transient operational cost and the cost of long-term management (e.g. archiving and support) that potentially grows exponentially with the transaction length. If the overall cost exceeds the node capacity, the node fails and all subtransaction incident to the node, and their parent distributed transactions, are aborted. A TON resilience can be measured in terms of either external workloads or intrinsic node fault rates that cause the TON to partially or fully choke. We demonstrate that under certain conditions, these two measures are equivalent. We further show that the exponential growth of the long-term management costs can be mitigated by adjusting the effective operational cost: in other words, that the future maintenance costs could be absorbed into the transient operational costs.
The power of networks manifests itself in a highly non-linear amplification of a number of effects, and their weakness - in propagation of cascading failures. The potential systemic risk effects can be either exacerbated or mitigated, depending on th
Edge/Fog computing is a novel computing paradigm that provides resource-limited Internet of Things (IoT) devices with scalable computing and storage resources. Compared to cloud computing, edge/fog servers have fewer resources, but they can be access
Given some of the recent advances in Distributed Hash Table (DHT) based Peer-To-Peer (P2P) systems we ask the following questions: Are there applications where unstructured queries are still necessary (i.e., the underlying queries do not efficiently
We analyze the optimal dividend payment problem in the dual model under constant transaction costs. We show, for a general spectrally positive L{e}vy process, an optimal strategy is given by a $(c_1,c_2)$-policy that brings the surplus process down t
We consider conditional-mean hedging in a fractional Black-Scholes pricing model in the presence of proportional transaction costs. We develop an explicit formula for the conditional-mean hedging portfolio in terms of the recently discovered explicit
