Network Robustness under Large-Scale Attacks [Paperback]

Network Robustness under Large-Scale Attacks?provides the analysis of network robustness under attacks, with a focus on large-scale correlated physical attacks. The book begins with a thorough overview of the latest research and techniques to analyze the network responses to different types of attacks over various network topologies and connection models. It then introduces a new large-scale physical attack model coined as area attack, under which a new network robustness measure is introduced and applied to study the network responses. With this book, readers will learn the?necessary tools to evaluate how a complex network responds to random and possibly correlated attacks.Introduction.- System Models.- Link-Level Network Robustness to Area Attacks.- Network-Wide Robustness to Area Attacks.- Simulation Results.- Conclusion.GB
