Critical infrastructures are repeatedly attacked by external triggers causing tremendous
amount of damages. Any infrastructure can be studied using the powerful theory of complex …

Robustness is one of the key properties in complex networks to ensure the expected level of
performance and service availability in case of perturbations and failures. Network …

Most current studies estimate the invulnerability of complex networks using a qualitative
method that analyzes the decay rate of network performance. This method results in …

Many real-world complex systems, such as power grids, the Internet, transportation
networks, and complex information systems networks, which can be modeled abstractly with …

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 …

We analyze the structural and functional robustness of networked critical infrastructure
systems (CISs). We propose a structural and functional robustness model of a typical …

Complex networks in reality may suffer from target attacks which can trigger the breakdown
of the entire network. It is therefore pivotal to evaluate the extent to which a network could …

We present a novel approach to quantify the vulnerability of a complex network, ie, the
capacity of a graph to maintain its functional performance under random damages or …

Network Robustness under Large-Scale Attacks provides the analysis of network robustness
under attacks, with a focus on large-scale correlated physical attacks. The book begins with …

Complex network theory has recently been used as a framework to describe the behavior of
several networks in nature including physical, chemical, biological, technological and social …
