Generating Scale-Free Caterpillar and Series-Parallel Networks

Generating Scale-Free Caterpillar and Series-Parallel Networks

Mahdee Mushfique Kamal, Sujoy Das, Md. Saidur Rahman

This research addresses the challenge of generating scale-free networks within specific graph classes. It focuses on caterpillars and series-parallel networks, characterizes the value of γ for scale-free caterpillars, and presents an O(n) algorithm to generate them. It also introduces an O(m) algorithm for generating scale-free series-parallel networks.

Analyzing Pre-Publication Team Level Factors Affecting Scientific Disruption

Analyzing Pre-Publication Team Level Factors Affecting Scientific Disruption

Mahdee Mushfique Kamal, Raiyan Abdul Baten

The scientific disruption index, which tracks how publications shift focus from prior work, is a key metric in the Science of Science. Large teams, high individual productivity, and distant or international collaborations correlate negatively with disruption, while diversity, new teams, and flat structures correlate positively. This study analyzes additional pre-publication team factors to reveal how team dynamics and external influences shape the success of scientific innovation.

Power Grid Network Bangladesh - A Complex Network Study

Power Grid Network Bangladesh - A Complex Network Study

Mahdee Mushfique Kamal, Mohammad Al-Mahmud, Md. Saidur Rahman

This study presents the first complex network analysis of Bangladesh’s power transmission system, comprising 206 nodes and 312 weighted edges. The network shows a weak scale-free property (exponent 2.05) and low clustering (0.055), forming a tree-like topology. Centrality analysis highlights nodes with high betweenness as critical and vulnerable. Resilience testing reveals severe fragmentation risk under targeted attacks. We propose an edge-adding algorithm to improve robustness.

AutoLimit - A Practical Bi-Level Approach to Resource Management for SLO-Targeted Microservices

AutoLimit - A Practical Bi-Level Approach to Resource Management for SLO-Targeted Microservices

Hasan Masum, Mahdee Mushfique Kamal

We propose a bi-level strategy extending Autothrottle: Captain, a lightweight controller adjusting CPU via throttling signals, and Tower, a centralized bandit-based controller setting dynamic performance targets. With heuristic rules for memory scaling, our approach reduces memory limits by 50.6–60.3%, cutting waste while ensuring SLO compliance in scalable microservices.
