DESCRIPTION:
Complex networks such as the Internet, WWW, transportation networks, power grids, biological neural networks, and scientific cooperation networks of all kinds provide challenges for future technological development.• The first systematic presentation of dynamical evolving networks, with many up-to-date applications and homework projects to enhance study• The authors are all very active and well-known in the rapidly evolving field of complex networks• Complex networks are becoming an increasingly important area of research• Presented in a logical, constructive style, from basic through to complex, examining algorithms, through to construct networks and research challenges of the future
"A starting point for beginners" according to Luigi Fatori. This book is about networks covered from a dynamical point of view. The book is divided in two parts, the first covers fundamentals on graph theory, probability, dynamics and network topologies. It is a fair introduction to such a wide set of topics. The second part is devoted to special topics and applications. I was particularly interested in two chapters: one on network synchronization and one on network control. I liked the former and did not like the latter which is a not very well connected review of the authors' results in the field. Almost 50% of over 60 references of the

The recent spate of collapses in power grids and ongoing virus attacks on the Internet illustrates the need for knowledge about mathematical modeling, behavioral analysis, optimized planning and performance control in such networks. From the Back CoverThis book introduces readers to the notion of complex networks including the Internet, transportation networks, power grids, biological neural networks, and scientific cooperation networks, which provide challenges for future technological development. The book is intended to b
