Advances in Network Analysis and its Applications

En savoir plus sur le livre

This volume highlights applications for network analysis while identifying new mathematical research targets that offer insights into network systems theory and promote idea exchange across sectors. It focuses on financial, security, and social networking aspects, contributing to the evidence that network analysis applies to transportation, communication, health, finance, and social policy. The work provides robust models for understanding complex systems, impacting various advanced fields in science and engineering, including wireless communication, network security, distributed computing, social networking, financial analysis, and cyber warfare. Offering an insider's perspective on cutting-edge research, it features methodologies with significant interdisciplinary potential. Contributors have presented their work at workshops organized by Canada’s MITACS initiative, which funds projects in mathematics for information technology and complex systems. The proceedings encompass papers on financial networks, network security and cryptography, and social networks. MITACS has highlighted the fragmented nature of network systems research, which has led to duplicated efforts in distinct fields, suggesting that this initiative could streamline research and enhance productivity across multiple areas of network systems research.
