The search for unifying properties of complex networks is popular, challenging, and
important. For modeling approaches that focus on robustness and fragility as unifying …

Research on the robustness of networks, and in particular the Internet, has gained critical
importance in recent decades because more and more individuals, societies and firms rely …

For many mathematicians and physicists, the Internet has become a popular realworld
domain for the application and/or development of new theories related to the organization …

Recent Internet measurements have found pervasive evidence of some surprising scaling
properties. The two we focus on in this paper are self-similar scaling in the burst patterns of …

Examining important results and analytical techniques, this graduate-level textbook is a step-
by-step presentation of the structure and function of complex networks. Using a range of …

For many years the research community has attempted to model the Internet in order to
better understand its behaviour and improve its performance. Since much of the structural …

The Internet has become essential to all aspects of modern life, and thus the consequences
of network disruption have become increasingly severe. It is widely recognised that the …

Intuitively, a complex network is robust if it keeps its basic functionality even under failure of
some of its components. The study of robustness in networks is important because a …

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 …

As the Internet becomes increasingly important to all aspects of society, the consequences
of disruption become increasingly severe. Thus it is critical to increase the resilience and …
