We look at complex networks of coupled dynamical systems where an external forcing control signal is applied to the network in order to align the state of all the individual systems to the forcing signal. We study how the effectiveness of such control is related to the topology of the underlying graph. For instance, we show that for the cycle gr...

In the next generation electrical grid, or 'smart grid', there will be many heterogeneous power generators, power storage devices and power consumers. This will include residential customers who traditionally are only part of the ecosystem as consumers, but will in the foreseeable future increasingly provide renewable energy generation through p...

Peer-to-peer networks are decentralized computingarchitectures that promise to deliver scalability in data sharing andstreaming applications under dynamic network conditions. In thesearchitectures peers are connected to the network and contribute resourcesin return for some useful services delivered by the network. Somequestions that determine t...
