Failure in Complex Social Networks
A class of inhomogenously wired networks called ‘‘scale-free’’ networks have been shown to be more robust against failure than more homogenously connected exponential networks. The robustness of scale-free networks consists in their ability to remain connected even when failure occurs. The diffusion of information and disease across a network only requires a single contact between nodes, making...
متن کاملComplex Networks and Social Networks
Complex networks arise in many diverse contexts, ranging from web pages and their links, protein-protein interaction networks, and social networks. The modelling and mining of these large-scale, self-organizing systems is a broad effort spanning many disciplines. A number of common properties have been observed in complex networks, such as power law degree distributions and the small world prop...
متن کاملDiffusion in complex social networks
This paper studies the problem of spreading a product (an idea, cultural fad or technology) among agents in a social network. An agent obtains the product with a probability that depends on the spreading rate of the product as well as on the behavior of the agent’s neighbors. This paper shows, using a mean field approach, that there exists a threshold for the spreading rate that determines whet...
متن کاملEvolving cascading failure resilience in complex networks
Our modern society has come to depend on large scale infrastructure networks to deliver resources to our homes and businesses in an efficient manner. Over the past 10 years there have been numerous examples where a local disturbance has led the global failure of the system. In this paper we use an evolutionary algorithm to evolve complex networks that are resilient to cascading failure. We then...
متن کاملAnalyzing Failure Propagation in Complex Engineering Networks
The simultaneous unavailability of several technical components within large-scale engineering systems can lead to high stress, rendering them prone to cascading events. In order to gain qualitative insights into the failure propagation mechanisms resulting from independent outages, we adopt a minimalistic model representing the components and their interdependencies by an undirected, unweighte...
