Complexity and Spatial Networks (eBook, PDF)

In Search of Simplicity

Produktbeschreibung

This book offers a panoramic view of recent advances in spatial complexity, in order to enhance our understanding of complex spatial networks by simplicity in terms of both the basic driving forces of systemic impacts and the modelling of such systems. Simple models mapping out the evolution of complex networks are undoubtedly a key issue in spatial economic research. In exploring this untrodden ground, this volume pursues new interdisciplinary pathways for theoretical, methodological and empirical analysis in the complex interconnected space-economy. It highlights 'evolutionary' directions and 'unifying' perspectives in this fascinating research field.

Rezensionen

From the reviews:

"This volume continues the history of excellent work in the Advances in Spatial Science series by gathering a broad array of research that nonetheless focuses on complex spatial networks. Stylistically, the book is solid overall ... . The book is primarily of value to researchers who are interested in complex spatial networks as applied to a broad range of socioeconomic problems. It would also be suitable as an ancillary reading for a course in complexity or socioeconomic modeling." (Dudley B. Bonsal and Steven M. Manson, Journal of Regional Science, Vol. 51 (2), 2011)
