Complex systems are very often organized under the form of networks where nodes and
edges are embedded in space. Transportation and mobility networks, Internet, mobile phone …

Watts and Strogatz, with the publication in 1998 of their seminal paper on small-world
networks, opened the golden era of complex networks studies and showed in particular how …

This book discusses the study and analysis of the physical aspects of social systems and
models, inspired by the analogy with familiar models of physical systems and possible …

Nervous systems are information processing networks that evolved by natural selection,
whereas very large scale integrated (VLSI) computer circuits have evolved by commercially …

Background Network concepts are increasingly used in biology and genetics. For example,
the clustering coefficient has been used to understand network architecture; the connectivity …

The knowledge of real-life traffic patterns is crucial for a good understanding and analysis of
transportation systems. These data are quite rare. In this paper we propose an algorithm for …

How the spatial arrangement of a population shapes its evolutionary dynamics has been of
long-standing interest in population genetics. Most previous studies assume a small number …

Motivated by the empirical analysis of the air transportation system, we define a network
model that includes geographical attributes along with topological and weight (traffic) …

The scale-free (SF) structures that commonly appear in many complex networks are a hot
topic in social, biological, and information sciences. These self-organized generation …

The international migration network, comprising the movements of people between
countries, is one of the most important global systems of interaction, which can reflect the …
