Gigantic clusters: where are they and what are they doing
C lusters are like skyscrapers—mammoth structures towering above their smaller counterparts—except that skyscrapers have longer lives. The race to build ever bigger clusters is on, largely driven by emerging scientific and engineering applications. Several research efforts are underway at various universities and US research laboratories. In this article, I examine some of the largest clusters ...
متن کاملGrowing Homophilic Networks Are Natural Navigable Small Worlds
Navigability, an ability to find a logarithmically short path between elements using only local information, is one of the most fascinating properties of real-life networks. However, the exact mechanism responsible for the formation of navigation properties remained unknown. We show that navigability can be achieved by using only two ingredients present in the majority of networks: network grow...
متن کاملBrain networks: small-worlds, after all?
Since its introduction, the ‘small-world’ effect has played a central role in network science, particularly in the analysis of the complex networks of the nervous system. From the cellular level to that of interconnected cortical regions, many analyses have revealed small-world properties in the networks of the brain. In this work, we revisit the quantification of small-worldness in neural grap...
متن کاملSmall Worlds: Strong Clustering in Wireless Networks
Small-worlds represent efficient communication networks that obey two distinguishing characteristics: a high clustering coefficient together with a small characteristic path length. Evoking small-world properties in spatially organized networks, like ad hoc and sensor networks, is the objective of Reckful Roaming, as introduced in this paper. Reckful Roaming is a 2-localized algorithm that sele...
متن کاملSmall Worlds as Navigable Augmented Networks
The small world phenomenon, a.k.a. the six degree of separation between individuals, was identified by Stanley Milgram at the end of the 60s. Milgram experiment demonstrated that letters from arbitrary sources and bound to an arbitrary target can be transmitted along short chains of closely related individuals, based solely on some characteristics of the target (professional occupation, state o...
