LASCNN algorithm

In graph theory, LASCNN is a Localized Algorithm for Segregation of Critical/Non-critical Nodes[1] The algorithm works on the principle of distinguishing between critical and non-critical nodes for network connectivity based on limited topology information.[2] The algorithm finds the critical nodes with partial information within a few hops.[3]

This algorithm can distinguish the critical nodes of the network with high precision, indeed, accuracy can reach 100% when identifying non-critical nodes.[4] The performance of LASCNN is scalable and quite competitive compared to other schemes.[5]

Pseudocode

[edit]

The LASCNN algorithm establishes a k-hop neighbor list and a duplicate free pair wise connection list based on k-hop information. If the neighbors stay connected then the node is non-critical.[6][7]

Function LASCNN(MAHSN)     For ∀ A ∈ MAHSN         If (A->ConnList.getSize() == 1) then             A->SetNonCritical() = LEAF         Else             Continue = TRUE             While (Continue == TRUE)                 Continue = FALSE                 For ∀ ActiveConn ∈ ConnList                     If (A∉ActiveConn) then                         If (A->ConnNeighbors.getSize() == 0)                             A->ConnNeighbors.add(ActiveConn)                             Continue = TRUE                         else                             If (ActiveConn ∩ ConnNeighbors == TRUE)                                 ActiveConn ∪ ConnNeighbors                                 Continue = TRUE                             Endif                         Endif                     Endif                 End For             End While         Endif         If (A->ConnNeighbors.getSize() < A->Neighbors.getSize())             A->SetCritical() = TRUE         else             A->SetNonCritical() = INTERMEDIATE         Endif     End For End Function 

Implementation

Critical Nodes Application - An implementation for the LASCNN algorithm using PWCT

The Critical Nodes application is a Free Open-Source implementation for the LASCNN algorithm. The application was developed in 2013 using Programming Without Coding Technology software.[8]
