Critical infrastructure: evaluating the effect of network topology and autocorrelation

现代经济和社会结构以前所未有的程度依赖于广泛的基础设施网络的正确运作和运作。货物沿着运输网络运输，这也为乘客出行提供了基础设施。目前的全球经济范围是由通信网络支撑的。能源通过大规模电网从发电厂分配给用户。水通过分配网络进行循环和再循环。管道是用来输送天然气的。其他例子比比皆是。

Modern economic and social structures depend, to a degree previously unseen in history, on the correct functioning and operation of extensive infrastructure networks. Goods are moved along transportation networks, which also provide the infrastructure for passenger travel. The current global scope of the economy is undergird by communication networks. Energy is distributed through large-scale grids from power plants to users. Water is cycled and recycled by means of distribution networks. Pipelines are used to move gas around. Other examples abound.
