Introduction to Networks of Networks (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

As the field of network science has dramatically expanded, researchers have realized that many networked systems do not operate in isolation. For example, communications systems often depend on the power-grid to be operational. As our world becomes more and more interconnected and interdependent due to modern technologies, the interactions between networks have taken on increasing importance. Recent studies show that interdependent networks become significantly more vulnerable compared to their non-interacting counterparts. Understanding the vulnerability due to such interdependencies is one of the major challenges for designing resilient infrastructures. There are more and more applications using our framework for the robustness of two interdependent networks and network of networks, such as in the field of ecological networks, economic networks and transportation networks. In this book, several of the founders and leading researchers in interactions between networks present the key findings in the field, including the possibility of cascading failures between systems, and provide a framework and methods for analyzing 'networks of networks'.

This book is an excellent introductory resource for Scientists in the field of complex networks in various disciplines.
