Functional Model of Adaptive Network Topology of Large-Scale Systems Based on Dynamical Graph Theory.

A model that can describe the functioning of large-scale systems with a dynamical and adaptive network topology is developed. Dynamical graph theory is chosen as the mathematical tools on which the model is based. Therefore, the functioning of the ad hoc network is represented as a set of static graphs, each of which corresponds to a certain timestamp. Dynamic graphs allow one to track changes in the network and mark them as legitimate or illegitimate. The choice of key parameters of the developed model is based on the practical experience of researchers involved in the detection of different attacks in ad hoc networks, which makes the model a priori focused on subsequent security analysis.
