Modeling Virus and Anti-Virus Dynamics in Topology-Aware Networks
Overview Viruses propagating over the Internet can result in significant damage and the loss of network security. On the other hand, the anti-virus process is already a part of the virus spreading process and plays an important role affecting the dynamics of the virus spreading. The spreading dynamics of most viruses depend upon the underlying network topology. While much research effort has been paid in the development of the antivirus software/tools, the dynamics and propagating model of the virus and anti-virus spreading in the topology-aware networks is neither well understood, nor thoroughly investigated. To remedy this deficiency, this paper proposes the two-layer small-world network topology to model the spreading characteristics of viruses as coexisting with the anti-virus spreading process.
