Editors:
- Offers a comprehensive overview of random graphs and networks
- Emphasis on modelling complex real-world networks such as brains, biological and physical memories, computer systems and communication
- New conjectures are outlined and new directions for future research are defined
- A link is established between the fundamental mathematical, graph theoretical approach and the approach based on methods of statistical physics
- Contains a detailed methodological description of various applications, such as reaction-diffusion equations, cellular regulation and intracellular networks, neural networks and brain networks, social networks, telecommunication and learning behaviors in networks

About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
“It is a collection of papers on advances in the field of large-scale networks … . The material presented here is based on a workshop organized in Budapest in 2006. … An ideal reader of the book may be a mathematician … .” (Miklós Bóna, The Mathematical Association of America, February, 2010)
“The volume is an outcome of a U.S.-Hungarian workshop on complex networks held at the Rényi Istitute in Budapest in 2006. … I quite enjoyed reading the book. The choice of topics and presentations is illustrative of the type of work taking place in this area … . are likely to be useful to the theoretical computer scientist interested in random structures and algorithms, but most of the chapters were reasonably interesting to me.” (Gabriel Istrate, SIGACT News, April, 2012)
