Abstract

Complex network theory has been applied to solving practical problems from different domains. In this paper, we present a general framework for complex network applications. The keys of a successful application are a thorough understanding of the real system and a correct mapping of complex network theory to practical problems in the system. Despite of certain limitations discussed in this paper, complex network theory provides a foundation on which to develop powerful tools in analyzing and optimizing large interconnected systems.
