Social network analysis (SNA) is a core pursuit of analyzing social networks today. In
addition to the usual statistical techniques of data analysis, these networks are investigated …

The power of any kind of network approach lies in the ability to simplify a complex system so
that one can better understand its function as a whole. Sometimes it is beneficial, however …

Complex networks have emerged as a simple yet powerful framework to represent and
analyze a wide range of complex systems. The problem of ranking the nodes and the edges …

Identifying influential nodes in very large-scale directed networks is a big challenge relevant
to disparate applications, such as accelerating information propagation, controlling rumors …

Numerous centrality measures have been developed to quantify the importances of nodes in
time-independent networks, and many of them can be expressed as the leading eigenvector …

Systems engineering is an ubiquitous discipline of Engineering overlapping industrial,
chemical, mechanical, manufacturing, control, software, electrical, and civil engineering. It …

The adsorption of aromatic molecules on metal surfaces plays a key role in condensed
matter physics and functional materials. Depending on the strength of the interaction …

The central nervous system is composed of many individual units–from cells to areas–that
are connected with one another in a complex pattern of functional interactions that supports …

Recent advances in brain imaging techniques, measurement approaches, and storage
capacities have provided an unprecedented supply of high temporal resolution neural data …

In this paper, we predict nodes' social contact patterns from the temporal perspective, and
propose a novel approach to improve the performance of data forwarding in opportunistic …
