  • Project Log: Day 7 – Eureka moment?

    Now I’m getting WAY AHEAD of myself here. (And that won’t work for real-world human networks probably but…) But let’s see. So imagine a graph, on which you want to simulate an infectious process (aka epidemiology) with a SIS simulation (we keep things simple). Next imagine you have capacity to influence arbitrarily the “resistance to…

  • Assume the Cow is a Sphere

    Intro I think I might have a start of an idea, for my MSc project. Although it’s… Incipient. How do we know what we know? So from a Cybersecurity (blue team) stand-point, one would (generally) want: to “segment” an IT Network as much as possible to “patch” the overall infrastructure as much/fast as possible (“Protect”)…

  • Optimization (4/n): Genetic Algorithm(s) (2/3)

    Intro This week, I’ll make it short, and instead of boring with code and explanations, I thought I’d just show an example output… Results This is a genetic algorithm in action: A population “evolves” (reproduces, “selection of the fittest”, iterate) towards an objective. Complexity of many local minima don’t seem to be an issue for…
