Payment scheduling in the Interval Debt Model (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Friedetzky, T., Kutner, D., Mertzios, G., Stewart, I., & Trehan, A. (2023). Payment scheduling in the Interval Debt Model. . https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-23101-8_18

The networks-based study of financial systems has received considerable attention in recent years, but seldom explicitly incorporated the dynamic aspects of such systems. We consider this problem setting from the temporal point of view, and we introd... Read More about Payment scheduling in the Interval Debt Model.

Using semidirect products of groups to build classes of interconnection networks (2020)
Journal Article
Stewart, I. (2020). Using semidirect products of groups to build classes of interconnection networks. Discrete Applied Mathematics, 283, 78-97. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.dam.2019.12.014

We build a framework within which we can define a wide range of Cayley graphs of semidirect products of abelian groups, suitable for use as interconnection networks and which we call toroidal semidirect product graphs. Our framework encompasses vario... Read More about Using semidirect products of groups to build classes of interconnection networks.

Relating the bisection width of dual-port, server-centric datacenter networks and the solution of edge-isoperimetric problems in graphs (2019)
Journal Article
Erickson, A., Navaridas, J., & Stewart, I. (2020). Relating the bisection width of dual-port, server-centric datacenter networks and the solution of edge-isoperimetric problems in graphs. Journal of Computer and System Sciences, 108, 10-28. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jcss.2019.08.005

Stellar datacenter networks are a recent generic construction designed to transform a base-graph into a dual-port, server-centric datacenter network. We prove that the S-bisection width of any stellar datacenter network can be obtained from the solut...

INRFlow: An interconnection networks research flow-level simulation framework (2019)
Journal Article
Navaridas, J., Pascual, J. A., Erickson, A., Stewart, I. A., & Luján, M. (2019). INRFlow: An interconnection networks research flow-level simulation framework. Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing, 130, 140-152. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jpdc.2019.03.013

This paper presents INRFlow, a mature, frugal, flow-level simulation framework for modelling large-scale networks and computing systems. INRFlow is designed to carry out performance-related studies of interconnection networks for both high performanc...

The influence of datacenter usage on symmetry in datacenter network design (2017)
Journal Article
Stewart, I., & Erickson, A. (2018). The influence of datacenter usage on symmetry in datacenter network design. Journal of Supercomputing, 74(6), 2276-2313. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11227-017-2217-1

We undertake the first formal analysis of the role of symmetry, interpreted broadly, in the design of server-centric datacenter networks. Although symmetry has been mentioned by other researchers, we explicitly relate it to various specific, structur...

On the combinatorial design of data centre network topologies (2017)
Journal Article
Stewart, I. (2017). On the combinatorial design of data centre network topologies. Journal of Computer and System Sciences, 89, 328-348. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jcss.2017.05.015

The theory of combinatorial designs has recently been used in order to build switch-centric data centre networks incorporating a large number of servers, in comparison with the popular Fat-Tree data centre network. We clarify and extend these results... Read More about On the combinatorial design of data centre network topologies.

Improved routing algorithms in the dual-port datacenter networks HCN and BCN (2017)
Journal Article
Erickson, A., Stewart, I., Pascual, J., & Navaridas, J. (2017). Improved routing algorithms in the dual-port datacenter networks HCN and BCN. Future Generation Computer Systems, 75, 58-71. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.future.2017.05.004

We present significantly improved one-to-one routing algorithms in the datacenter networks HCN and View the MathML source in that our routing algorithms result in much shorter paths when compared with existing routing algorithms. We also present a mu... Read More about Improved routing algorithms in the dual-port datacenter networks HCN and BCN.

The stellar transformation: from interconnection networks to datacenter networks (2016)
Journal Article
Erickson, A., Stewart, I., Navaridas, J., & Kiasari, A. (2017). The stellar transformation: from interconnection networks to datacenter networks. Computer Networks, 113, 29-45. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.comnet.2016.12.001

The first dual-port server-centric datacenter network, FiConn, was introduced in 2009 and there are several others now in existence; however, the pool of topologies to choose from remains small. We propose a new generic construction, the stellar tran... Read More about The stellar transformation: from interconnection networks to datacenter networks.

Sufficient conditions for Hamiltonicity in multiswapped networks (2016)
Journal Article
Stewart, I. (2016). Sufficient conditions for Hamiltonicity in multiswapped networks. Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing, 101, 17-26. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jpdc.2016.10.015

OTIS networks are interconnection networks amenable to deployment as hybrid networks containing both electronic and optical links. Deficiencies as regards symmetry led to the subsequent formulation of biswapped networks which were later generalized t...
