Industry cluster is a new feature under the background of globalization, informationization and integration. Along with the development of science and technology, the competition between industry clusters is gradually changed from the traditional cost competition into the innovation ability. The ability of innovation is not only concerned with single enterprise or institution’s ablity but also ...

In this first chapter, we give an introduction to random graphs and complex networks. We discuss examples of realworld networks and their empirical properties, and give a brief introduction to the kinds of models that we investigate in the book. Further, we introduce the key elements of the notation that is used throughout the book.

This chapter presents a number of different aspects related to a particular kind of large and complex networks: A Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) consists of a large number of nodes that individually have limited computing power and information; their interaction is strictly local, but their task is to build global structures and pursue global

Small world network theory is a new development of complexity science in recent years , this theory can also be used to analyze innovation activities of the university scientific research team . This paper, using the small world network model, analysize of scientific research team in university network relations and the characteristics of network structure, and analysize the W-S small world net...

The Beijing road traffic system, as a typical huge urban traffic system, provides a platform for analyzing the complex characteristics and the evolving mechanisms of urban traffic systems. Based on dynamic network theory, we construct the dynamic model of the Beijing road traffic system in which the dynamical properties are described completely. Furthermore, we come into the conclusion that urb...

The postmodern organization has a design paradox in which leaders are concerned with efficiency and control as well as complex functioning. Traditional leadership theory has limited applicability to postmodern organizations as it is mainly focused on efficiency and control. As a result, a new theory of leadership that recognizes the design paradox has been proposed: complexity leadership theory...

a novel algorithm for the fast detection of hubs in chemical networks is presented. thealgorithm identifies a set of nodes in the network as most significant, aimed to be the mosteffective points of distribution for fast, widespread coverage throughout the system. we showthat our hubs have in general greater closeness centrality and betweenness centrality thanvertices with maximal degree, while...

This article investigates emergence and complexity in complex systems that can share information on a network. To this end, we use a theoretical approach from information theory, computability theory, and complex networks. One key studied question is how much emergent complexity arises when a population of computable systems is networked compared with when this population is isolated. First, we...
