Using Centrality Measures to Rank the Importance of the Components of a Complex Network Infrastructure
نویسندگان
چکیده
Modern society is witnessing a continuous growth in the complexity of the infrastructure networks which it relies upon. This raises significant concerns regarding safety, reliability and security. These concerns are not easily dealt with the classical risk assessment approaches. In this paper, the concept of centrality measures introduced in complexity science is used to identify the contribution of the elements of a network to the efficiency of its connection, accounting for the reliability of its elements. As an example of application, the centrality measures are computed for an electrical power transmission system of literature.

متن کاملRank me thou shalln't Compare me
Centrality measures have been defined to quantify the importance of a node in complex networks. The relative importance of a node can be measured using its centrality rank based on the centrality value. In the present work, we predict the degree centrality rank of a node without having the entire network. The proposed method uses degree of the node and some network parameters to predict its ran...

متن کاملA Fast Approach to the Detection of All-Purpose Hubs in Complex Networks with Chemical Applications
A novel algorithm for the fast detection of hubs in chemical networks is presented. The algorithm identifies a set of nodes in the network as most significant, aimed to be the most effective points of distribution for fast, widespread coverage throughout the system. We show that our hubs have in general greater closeness centrality and betweenness centrality than vertices with maximal degree, w...
متن کاملGlobal Rank Estimation
In real world complex networks, the importance of a node depends on two important parameters: 1. characteristics of the node, and 2. the context of the given application. The current literature contains several centrality measures that have been defined to measure the importance of a node based on the given application requirements. These centrality measures assign a centrality value to each no...
