Networks: New links between spectrum, dynamics, rewirings and applications

现代网络科学改变了对复杂系统的研究，并导致了许多学科的创新。该项目旨在开发通过链接-重新布线类型的干预来控制复杂网络系统行为的突破性理论。将为非随机、分类和/或结构化网络制定新的办法，尽管它们是现实世界的规范，尽管它们有影响，但人们对它们的了解很少，很难处理。研究结果将对疫情暴发及其对弱势群体(如老年人和土著群体)的影响提供新的见解，并提供加强电网等基础设施网络的复原力的方法，从而提供显著的经济和社会效益。

Modern network science has transformed the study of complex systems and led to innovations in many disciplines. This project intends to develop breakthrough theories for control of complex networked system behaviour via interventions of the link-rewiring type. New approaches will be developed for non-random, assortative and/or structured networks, which are poorly understood and difficult to deal with, despite being the real-world norm and despite their impact. The results will give new insights into epidemic outbreaks and their impact on vulnerable groups (e.g., elderly and indigenous), and provides methods to enforce resilience of infrastructure networks such as power grids, thereby providing significant economic and societal benefits.
