It is well known that heterogeneous networks are vulnerable to the intentional removal of a
small fraction of highly connected or loaded nodes, implying that to protect the network …

From transportation networks to complex infrastructures and to social and economic
networks, a large variety of systems can be described in terms of multiplex networks formed …

Maintaining robustness is a key challenge for present and future air transportation. The
analysis of network robustness is a time-demanding task, whose complexity increases with …

Networked systems exist broadly in daily life and have been greatly emphasized in recent
studies. Since these networks are always exposed in complicated environments and may …

This thesis develops a methodology for designing resilient system-of-systems (SoS)
networks. This methodology includes a capability-based resilience assessment framework …

The robustness is an important functionality of networks because it manifests the ability of
networks to resist failures or attacks. Many robustness measures have been proposed from …

Network robustness is one of the most central topics in the field of complex networks. In this
paper, the factor of attack cost associated with network robustness is taken into account. The …

Society relies heavily on its networked physical infrastructure and information systems.
Accurately assessing the vulnerability of these systems against disruptive events is vital for …

The concept of vulnerability in the context of complex networks quantifies the capacity of a
network to maintain its functional performance under random damages, malicious attacks, or …

In this report we offer the widest comparison of links removal (attack) strategies efficacy in
impairing the robustness of six real-world complex weighted networks. We test eleven …
