Complex networks serve as a core tool for characterizing coupled relationships across domains, like social interactions, information diffusion, and risk evolution. Yet, cross-domain systems face challenges in describing coupling mechanisms, predicting transmission paths, and coordinating control strategies. Targeted modelling, transmission law analysis, and precise control based on complex networks are thus crucial for optimizing social governance and enhancing risk resistance.
This special issue focuses on Modeling, Analysis, and Control of Complex Networks: From Theory to Applications. The following subtopics are the particular interests of this special issue, including but not limited to:
1. Dynamic modeling of multi-domain coupled systems under complex networks (e.g., multi-agent network models integrating social interaction, information flow, and risk evolution)
2. Transmission mechanisms and path optimization of heterogeneous content (information, knowledge, rumors, emotions) in complex networks
3. Risk transmission assessment and early warning methods for complex networks under extreme scenarios (public events, sudden disasters)
4. Multi-domain coordinated control strategies based on complex network characteristics (e.g., linked optimization of information guidance and risk prevention and control)
5. Data-driven inversion of complex network transmission parameters and simulation of control effects (e.g., transmission trend prediction integrating multi-source data)
6. Differential characteristics and regulation schemes of element transmission in special groups or network structures (e.g., community networks, hierarchical networks)
