Toward a Practical Technique to Halt Multiple Virus Outbreaks on Computer Networks

الملخص EN

The author analyzes a technique to prevent multiple simultaneous virus epidemics on any vulnerable computer network with inhomogeneous topology.

The technique immunizes a small fraction of the computers and utilizes diverse software platforms to halt the virus outbreaks.

The halting technique is of practical interest since a network's detailed topology need not be known.
