Interdependencies are ubiquitous throughout the world. Every real-world system interacts with and is dependent on other systems, and this interdependency affects their performance. In particular, interdependencies among ...

The Internet allows us to communicate, access online education, commerce, etc. Its relevance has become even more apparent in recent times as we have seen the need to rely more on online communication and services. In order ...

The analysis of network robustness tackles the problem of studying how a complex network behaves under adverse scenarios, such as failures or attacks. In particular, the analysis of interdependent networks' robustness ...

When the resilience of a network is analyzed it is often studied alone, but in the real world networks usually interact with other networks establishing dependencies. The Internet at a BGP level is an example of this kind ...

This article explores the role that a community’s network of interaction—an intrinsic feature of the degree of nucleation or dispersal of communities—played in the differential development of societies across the Intermediate ...

This work addresses the study of Chilean Internet robustness in how an outage at the physical layer (Internet backbone) affects the upper layer (BGP network) that routes from/to Internet Service Providers. We propose a ...

Many real-world networks depend on other networks, often in nontrivial ways, to maintain their functionality. These interdependent “networks of networks” are often extremely fragile. When a fraction 1 − p of nodes in one ...

This paper investigates the business cycle co-movement across countries and regions since 1950 as a measure for quantifying the economic interdependence in the ongoing globalisation process. Our methodological approach is ...

Recent studies have shown that in interdependent networks an initial failure of a fraction 1 − p of nodes in one network, exposes the system to a cascade of failures. Therefore it is important to develop efficient strategies ...

Modern urban systems contain intricate interconnected networks whose components depend on each other to operate, provide value, and sustain a functional society. However, this interconnectedness increases the fragility of ...
