Complex network analysis of extreme precipitations in North America
… water resources depends on identifying the complex patterns of extreme precipitation events (EPEs). In this regard, we studied EPEs in North America using complex network analysis. We generated the EPEs network from the gauge-based daily precipitation dataset from the Climate Prediction …

Analysing network motifs in a complex network of freight movements
Motifs are over-represented subgraphs in a complex network, and represent the building blocks of the network. There is a lack of studies that apply complex network theory in a supply chain context. In this dissertation 3-node motifs were identified and analysed in a complex network representing …

Interdisciplinary Studies of Complex Network and Machine Learning and Its Applications
… this dissertation, we introduce the concept of network-based statistical inference methods of two types: network structure inference and variable inference. For network structure inference, we introduce correlation matrix, graphical Lasso, network clustering and identify the influencer in the …

Solving the Software Defined Network Controller Placement Problem Using Complex Network Analysis
Software Defined Network (SDN) is a new architectural design for networking that is constructed based on decoupling the control plane from the data plane in networking devices and providing programmatic interface for the control plane. The introduction of SDN has raised many new networking …

Applications of efficiency and complex network analysis to logistics and dominance networks
… context. This approach is a methodology based on Complex Network Analysis. Complex Network Analysis (CNA) is a traditional technique to characterise the relationships among the elements of a system. It has a powerful visualisation tool that can be applied to a DEA context. The first methodological …
