Grant: Discovery Grants Program - Individual

Independence and dynamic domination
FY 2013-14
Summary
Consider the problem of a security firm that is asked to provide protection for a business by monitoring on a regular basis each node of a network. Each point of interest must either be visited or seen from a neighbouring point by a watchperson but this need not be on a continuous basis. However, there should be no more than some pre-specified period of time between such monitorings. The security firm is to provide the minimum number of watchpeople, and to specify the rounds they would have to take, to satisfy this condition. This project attempts to address this problem for certain types of specialized networks.
