COMPLEX NETWORKS: DYNAMICS, OPTIMIZATION AND CONTROL

大型电网、互联网、交通网络和各种合作网络等复杂网络对前沿技术，特别是计算、通信和控制提出了挑战。特别是，先进社会已经变得对大型基础设施网络的依赖程度超出了我们规划和控制它们的能力。最近发生的一系列电网崩溃和互联网病毒攻击表明，有必要对此类网络的建模、行为分析、规划和控制进行研究。该项目旨在为澳大利亚的利益建立这一领域的研究。

Complex networks such large power grids, the Internet, transportation networks and co-operation networks of all kinds provide challenges for frontier technologies particularly computing, communication and control. In particular, advanced societies have become dependent on large infrastructure networks to an extent beyond our capability to plan and control them. The recent spate of collapses in power grids and virus attacks on the Internet illustrate the need for research on modelling, analysis of behaviour, planning and control in such networks. This project aims to establish research in this area for Australia's benefit.
