Handbook of Optimization in Complex Networks

Beschreibung

This second volume of the "Handbook Optimization in Complex Networks" presents the most recent research and developments in the application of optimization techniques to the study of complex communication and social networks. This book present several optimization models and their application to a variety of network settings including: online social networks, wireless communication networks, as well as models that describe virus and social media propagation. This book can serve as a useful resource to any student or researcher interested in the application of optimization techniques to communication and or social networks.
Complex Social Networks is a newly emerging (hot) topic with applications in a variety of domains, such as communication networks, engineering networks, social networks, and biological networks. In the last decade, there has been an explosive growth of research on complex real-world networks, a theme that is becoming pervasive in many disciplines, ranging from mathematics and computer science to the social and biological sciences. Optimization of complex communication networks requires a deep understanding of the interplay between the dynamics of the physical network and the information dynamics within the network. Although there are a few books addressing social networks or complex networks, none of them has specially focused on the optimization perspective of studying these networks. This book provides the basic theory of complex networks with several new mathematical approaches and optimization techniques to design and analyze dynamic complex networks. A wide range of applications and optimization problems derived from research areas such as cellular and molecular chemistry, operations research, brain physiology, epidemiology, and ecology.
This is the first publication of results and articles that study complex network systems from an optimization perspective Presents the most recent research developments in the study of optimization in complex social and communication networks Includes new research on optimization techniques applied to online social networks and online media Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
