若干系统可被建模为相互连接的网络集，或具有多种连接类型的网络，这里一般称为多层网络。诸如在线社交网络用户之间的信息传播，或病原体通过个体接触网络在个体间的扩散等传播过程，是这些网络中出现的基本现象。然而，虽然单一网络中的信息扩散在过去十多年里受到了各个学科的广泛关注，但多层网络中的传播过程仍然是一个新兴的研究领域，存在许多具有挑战性的研究问题。在本文中，我们综述了多层传播过程的主要模型、结果和应用，并讨论了一些有前景的研究方向。
Several systems can be modeled as sets of interconnected networks or networks with multiple types of connections, here generally called multilayer networks. Spreading processes such as information propagation among users of online social networks, or the diffusion of pathogens among individuals through their contact network, are fundamental phenomena occurring in these networks. However, while information diffusion in single networks has received considerable attention from various disciplines for over a decade, spreading processes in multilayer networks is still a young research area presenting many challenging research issues. In this paper, we review the main models, results and applications of multilayer spreading processes and discuss some promising research directions.
