Dang title: Limiting the Spread of Epidemics within Time Constraint on Online Social Networks ispublished: pub subjects: IT divisions: fac_fit abstract: In this paper, we investigate the problem of limiting the spread of epidemics on online social networks (OSNs) with the aim to seek a set nodes of size at most k to remove from the networks such that the number of saved nodes is maximal for cases where we already know the set of infected nodes on the networks. The problem is proved to be NP-hard and it is NP-hard to approximate the problem with ratio nexp(1−ϵ), for 0 < ϵ < 1. Besides, we also suggest two algorithms to solve the problem. Experimental results show that our proposed outperform baseline algorithms. date: 2017-10-07 date_type: published full_text_status: public pres_type: paper pagerange: 262-269 event_title: SoICT 2017 event_location: Nha Trang, Viet Nam event_dates: 7-8 event_type: conference refereed: TRUE citation: Pham, Canh V. and Hoang, Xuan Huan (2017) Limiting the Spread of Epidemics within Time Constraint on Online Social Networks.
