| Abstract | We consider a variant of the well-known Susceptible-Infected-Susceptible (SIS) network spreading model, and present a virus control strategy in which nodes in a network are in sleep state or awake state with certain probabilities. Nodes in sleep state are assumed to have a lower infection rate relative to nodes in awake state, hence lower exposure levels to a viral attack on the network. The strategy presented is inspired by the notion of bacteria colony \textit{persistence} to antibiotics in which certain bacteria in the colony hibernate or switch to dormant states as a way of reducing their exposure to antibiotics and helping the colony withstand the effects of the antibiotic attack. Based on a simplified model of persistence, we present a threshold above which a small infection may become an epidemic. Further, we consider the problem of designing the probability of each node being in sleep (less infectious) state with the least effort, allowing the network to control the spread of an infection. Our design strategy for the probabilities of being in sleep state exploits the diagonal dominance property of a non-convex constraint, which enables relaxation of the problem to a Linear Program, for which we compute an exact solution using only local information. Finally, via simulations, we show that the probability of being in sleep state, resulting from our relaxation does, indeed, exploit the network structure in controlling the virus spread. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
