  • Abstract
    The purpose of this article is to 1) introduce network control theory as a promising analytical tool in mitigating the spread of biological and computer viruses, and 2) advance the methodology for spread control to account for the constraints, variations, and heterogeneities that are ubiquitous in homeland-security applications.
