• ### Hyperbolic Embedding for Efficient Computation of Path Centralities and Adaptive Routing in Large-Scale Complex Commodity Networks

Publication Year: 2017, Page(s):140 - 153
| | PDF (703 KB) | HTML

Computing the most central nodes in large-scale commodity networks is rather important for improving routing and associated applications. In this paper, we introduce a novel framework for the analysis and efficient computation of routing path-based centrality measures, focusing on betweenness and traffic load centrality. The proposed framework enables efficient approximation and in special cases a... View full abstract»

• ### Inference of Hidden Social Power Through Opinion Formation in Complex Networks

Publication Year: 2017, Page(s):154 - 164
| | PDF (472 KB) | HTML

Social networks analysis and mining gets ever-increasing importance in various disciplines. In this context finding the most influential nodes with the highest social power is important in many applications including spreading of innovation, opinion formation, immunization, information propagation and recommendation. In this manuscript, we propose a mathematical framework in order to effectively e... View full abstract»

• ### On Detection and Structural Reconstruction of Small-World Random Networks

Publication Year: 2017, Page(s):165 - 176
| | PDF (405 KB) | HTML

In this paper, we study detection and fast reconstruction of the celebrated Watts-Strogatz (WS) small-world random graph model [29] which aims to describe real-world complex networks that exhibit both high clustering and short average length properties. The WS model with neighborhood size k and rewiring probability probability β can be viewed as a continuous interpolation between a determin... View full abstract»

• ### SIS Epidemic Spreading with Heterogeneous Infection Rates

Publication Year: 2017, Page(s):177 - 186
| | PDF (828 KB) | HTML

In this work, we aim to understand the influence of the heterogeneity of infection rates on the Susceptible-Infected-Susceptible (SIS) epidemic spreading. Employing the classic SIS model as the benchmark, we study the influence of the independently identically distributed infection rates on the average fraction of infected nodes in the metastable state. The log-normal, gamma and a newly designed d... View full abstract»

• ### The Power of Quasi-Shortest Paths: $\rho$ -Geodesic Betweenness Centrality

Publication Year: 2017, Page(s):187 - 200
| | PDF (1181 KB) | HTML

Betweenness centrality metrics usually underestimate the importance of nodes that are close to shortest paths but do not exactly fall on them. In this paper, we reevaluate the importance of such nodes and propose the p-geodesic betweenness centrality, a novel metric that assigns weights to paths (and, consequently, to nodes on these paths) according to how close they are to shortest paths. The pat... View full abstract»

## Aims & Scope

The IEEE Transactions on Network Science and Engineering is committed to timely publishing of peer-reviewed technical articles that deal with the theory and applications of network science and the interconnections among the elements in a system that form a network. In particular, the IEEE Transactions on Network Science and Engineering publishes articles on understanding, prediction, and control of structures and behaviors of networks at the fundamental level.
