While new forms of attacks are developed every day to compromise essential infrastructures,
service providers are also expected to develop strategies to mitigate the risk of extreme …

Much of our commerce and travel depends on the efficient operation of large scale networks.
Some of those, such as electric power grids, transportation systems, communication …

The threat of a malicious attack is one of the major security problems in complex networks.
Resilience is the system-level self-adjusting ability of a complex network to retain its basic …

In a recent work [Schneider et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 108, 3838 (2011)], the authors
proposed a simple measure for network robustness under malicious attacks on nodes …

Terrorist attacks on transportation networks have traumatized modern societies. With a
single blast, it has become possible to paralyze airline traffic, electric power supply, ground …

Communication networks have evolved tremendously over the past several decades,
offering a multitude of services while becoming an essential critical infrastructure in our daily …

Many real systems are extremely vulnerable against attacks, since they are scale-free
networks as commonly existing topological structure in them. Thus, in order to improve the …

With increasingly ambitious initiatives such as GENI and FIND that seek to design future
internets, it becomes imperative to define the characteristics of robust topologies, and build …

We examine the robustness of networks under attack when the attacker sequentially selects
from a number of different attack strategies, each of which removes one node from the …

In the past decades, there has been much interest in the elasticity of infrastructures to
targeted and random attacks. In the recent work by Schneider CM et al., Proc. Natl. Acad …
