Complex Networks ?
Real-World Networks (as Complex Networks) Large network size Heterogeneous network elements Diverse interconnection pattern Highly Dynamic Difficult to Analyze
Complex Network Theory An active area of scientific research inspired largely
by the empirical study of real-world networks Provides tools to understand and analyze complex
networks through simple equations

Questions to ponder upon..
Is there any symmetry displayed by these networks
How have these networks emergedAre there any properties based on which one
network can be differentiated from the otherAre these networks robust against failureAre these networks helpful in information
flowHow can we engineer (build) such network
(engineering complex systems)

Small World Effect
A Facebook-platform application named "Six Degrees" was developed by Karl Bunyan, which calculates the degrees of separation between different people. It had over 5.8 million users, as seen from the group's page. The average separation for all users of the application is 5.73 degrees.
Social Web App from Facebook

Small World Effect
Even in very large social networks, the average distance between nodes is usually quite short.
Milgram’s small world experiment: Chose individuals in the U.S. cities of Omaha, Nebraska
and Wichita, Kansas to be the starting points and Boston, Massachusetts to be the end point
Initial senders in Omaha, Nebraska Each sender was asked to forward a packet to a friend
who was closer to the target Friends asked to do the same
Result: Average of ‘six degrees’ of separation

Watts-Strogatz ‘Small World’ Model (Simple Rules)
D. J. Watts and S. H. Strogatz, Collective dynamics of “small-world” networks, Nature, 393 (1998), pp. 440–442.
Watts and Strogatz introduced this simple model to show how networks can have both short path lengths and high clustering.

Robustness & Stability
Internet Robust against random
failure Vulnerable against
targeted attack
Similar observation on Gnutella P2P network

Investigating 9-11 Terrorist Attack
Social Network Analysis is a mathematical methodology for connecting the dots - using science to fight terrorism. Connecting multiple pairs of dots soon reveals an emergent network of organization.

DDoS Attack on Twitter
6 Aug 2009: BesidesTwitter, Facebook, Youtube and Live Journal were also attacked on the same day. Complex network analysis showed one common target in all these attacks whose online name is cyxymu.Details can be found at http://blogs.mcafee.com/mcafee-labs/collateral-damage
