Abstract

Complex networks are becoming manifest in many fields of contemporary science, including mathematics, physics, computer science, biology, engineering, social sciences and economics. As part of a broad movement towards research in complex systems, scientists have recently found a striking degree of self-organization that emerges in networks representing seemingly diverse complex systems (Barabasi A L 2005 Nat. Phys. 1 68). The research subject of complex networks comprises the study of how networks emerge and evolve, what is their topology, how robust they are, what new phenomena emerge as a result of the interplay between the structure and dynamics and how can we take advantage of this knowledge for applications in a wide range of natural and man-made systems.
