Coupled biological and chemical systems, neural networks, social interacting species, the
Internet and the World Wide Web, are only a few examples of systems composed by a large …

In recent years the increasing availability of computer power and informatics tools has
enabled the gathering of reliable data quantifying the complexity of socio-technical systems …

Inspired by empirical studies of networked systems such as the Internet, social networks,
and biological networks, researchers have in recent years developed a variety of techniques …

The availability of large data sets has allowed researchers to uncover complex properties
such as large-scale fluctuations and heterogeneities in many networks, leading to the …

Complex networks with a heterogeneous distribution of loads may undergo a global
cascade of overload failures when highly loaded nodes or edges are removed due to …

Social networks have the surprising property of being “searchable”: Ordinary people are
capable of directing messages through their network of acquaintances to reach a specific …

We live in a “small world,” where two arbitrary people are likely connected by a short chain
of intermediate friends. With scant information about a target individual, people can …

Analytic solution for the average path length in a large class of uncorrelated random
networks with hidden variables is found. We apply the approach to classical random graphs …

We propose a packet routing strategy with a tunable parameter α based on the local
structural information of a scale-free network. As free traffic flow on the communication …
