Many real-world complex systems consist of a set of elementary units connected by relationships of different kinds. All such systems are better described in terms of multiplex networks, where the links at each layer represent a different…
Complex networks are made up of vertices and edges. The edges, which may be directed or undirected, are equipped with positive weights. Modeling complex systems that consist of different types of objects leads to multilayer networks, in…
Heterozygote disadvantage is potentially a potent driver of population genetic divergence. Also referred to as underdominance, this phenomena describes a situation where a genetic heterozygote has a lower overall fitness than either…
Network Intrusion Detection System is a critical means of ensuring cybersecurity. However, existing Genetic Algorithm-based feature selection methods face several limitations when dealing with high-dimensional redundant traffic features.…
Due to the complexity of the human body, most diseases present a high inter-personal variability in the way they manifest, i.e. in their phenotype, which has important clinical repercussions - as for instance the difficulty in defining…
In this paper, scalable controller design to achieve output synchronization for a heterogeneous discrete-time nonlinear multi-agent system is considered. The agents are assumed to exhibit potentially nonlinear dynamics but share linear…
Recently, there is a surge of interests on heterogeneous information network analysis. As a newly emerging network model, heterogeneous information networks have many unique features (e.g., complex structure and rich semantics) and a number…
The world is full of systems of distributed agents, collaborating and competing in complex ways: firms and workers specialise within economies, neurons adapt their tuning across brain circuits, and species compete and coexist within…
Virtual network embedding is one of the key problems of network virtualization. Since virtual network mapping is an NP-hard problem, a lot of research has focused on the evolutionary algorithm's masterpiece genetic algorithm. However, the…
Most real systems consist of a large number of interacting, multi-typed components, while most contemporary researches model them as homogeneous networks, without distinguishing different types of objects and links in the networks.…
Managing heterogeneous network systems is a difficult task because each of these networks has its own curious management system. These networks usually are constructed on independent management protocols which are not compatible with each…
Most models of complex systems have been homogeneous, i.e., all elements have the same properties (spatial, temporal, structural, functional). However, most natural systems are heterogeneous: few elements are more relevant, larger,…
Representing various networked data as multiplex networks, networks of networks and other multilayer networks can reveal completely new types of structures in these system. We introduce a general and principled graphlet framework for…
Real world complex networks often exhibit multiplex structure, connecting entities from different aspects of physical systems such as social, transportation and biological networks. Little is known about general properties of such networks…
It has been widely recognized that the performance of a multi-agent system is highly affected by its organization. A large scale system may have billions of possible ways of organization, which makes it impractical to find an optimal choice…
Networked structures arise in a wide array of different contexts such as technological and transportation infrastructures, social phenomena, and biological systems. These highly interconnected systems have recently been the focus of a great…
As networks grow in size and complexity, backbones become an essential network representation. Indeed, they provide a simplified yet informative overview of the underlying organization by retaining the most significant and structurally…
Diversity is a commonly known principle in the design of recommender systems, but also ambiguous in its conceptualization. Through semi-structured interviews we explore how practitioners at three different public service media organizations…
We suggest an approach to study hierarchy, especially hidden one, of complex networks based on the analysis of their vulnerability. Two quantities are proposed as a measure of network hierarchy. The first one is the system vulnerability V.…
Network reconstruction is fundamental to understanding the dynamical behaviors of the networked systems. Many systems, modeled by multiplex networks with various types of interactions, display an entirely different dynamical behavior…
