Evolution and Structure of the Internet : A Statistical Physics Approach
Editorial Reviews
Review
'This book illustrates again how the ideas of physics seem to apply to almost everything.' New Scientist
'... clear and well written.' Journal of Documentation
'The approach the authors take is radically different: being important contributors to the field of complex networks, they use this expertise here in tackling various practical problems related to the information superhighway. ... authors provide ample references to choose from for the interested. ... The collection of topics in this book is broad, just as the Internet is itself. ... [This book is] a good point of reference or entry-level introduction to complex networks, and definitely an interesting read.' Journal of Statistical Physics
Book Description
Viewed in this analysis from a statistical physics perspective, the Internet is perceived as a developing system that evolves through the addition and removal of nodes and links. This perspective permits the authors to outline the dynamical theory that can appropriately describe the Internet's macroscopic evolution. The presence of such a theoretical framework will provide a revolutionary way of enhancing the reader's understanding of the Internet's varied network processes.
