Product Description
The availability of large data sets have allowed researchers to uncover complex properties such as large scale fluctuations and heterogeneities in many networks which have lead to the breakdown of standard theoretical frameworks and models. Until recently these systems were considered as haphazard sets of points and connections. Recent advances have generated a vigorous research effort in understanding the effect of complex connectivity patterns on dynamical phenomena. For example, a vast number of everyday systems, from the brain to ecosystems, power grids and the Internet, can be represented as large complex networks. This new and recent account presents a comprehensive explanation of these effects.
Book Description
An in-depth account on the effect of complex connectivity patterns on dynamical phenomena, this book will interest graduate students and researchers in many disciplines, from physics and statistical mechanics, to mathematical biology and information science. Its modular approach allows readers to easily access the sections of most interest to them.

A great book on dynamical processes on networks November 27, 2008
Pierpaolo Vivo (Trieste (Italy))
The new frontier of interdisciplinary research is the science of complex
networks, that provides the right mathematical framework to investigate the
statistical properties of many complex systems belonging to different fields
of study, from biology to economics, engineering and social sciences.
Several good books on complex networks have been recently published, but the
present one is the first focusing on the dynamical aspects of processes
taking place on networks.
Navigation and search on networks, traffic models, epidemic and rumors spreading,
synchronization phenomena, aggregation of information and consensus ...
these are examples of the kind of collective dynamics modern sciences are
interested in!!
This book provides a unique account of these topics, that combines a rigorous
scientific exposition with a very pedagogical attitude, and
continual connections to real-world systems.
Clearly written by leading researchers in the field, the book is intended to
the very broad audience of complex network scientists.
In my opinion, it is a compelling reading for students approaching this
research field and a perfect reference book for courses both at
undergraduate and PhD level.
