Journal ArticleDOI
Complex networks: Structure and dynamics
TL;DR: The major concepts and results recently achieved in the study of the structure and dynamics of complex networks are reviewed, and the relevant applications of these ideas in many different disciplines are summarized, ranging from nonlinear science to biology, from statistical mechanics to medicine and engineering.
Journal ArticleDOI
Efficient Behavior of Small-World Networks
TL;DR: It is shown that the underlying general principle of their construction is in fact a small-world principle of high efficiency, which gives a clear physical meaning to the concept of "small world," and also a precise quantitative analysis of both weighted and unweighted networks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metaheuristics in combinatorial optimization: Overview and conceptual comparison
Christian Blum,Andrea Roli +1 more
TL;DR: A survey of the nowadays most important metaheuristics from a conceptual point of view and introduces a framework, that is called the I&D frame, in order to put different intensification and diversification components into relation with each other.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of complex networks: A survey of measurements
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a survey of topological features of complex networks, including trajectories in several measurement spaces, correlations between some of the most traditional measurements, perturbation analysis, as well as the use of multivariate statistics for feature selection and network classification.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of complex networks: A survey of measurements
TL;DR: This article presents a survey of measurements capable of expressing the most relevant topological features of complex networks and includes general considerations about complex network characterization, a brief review of the principal models, and the presentation of the main existing measurements.

Journal ArticleDOI
The thermodynamics of computation—a review
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider the problem of rendering a computation logically reversible (e.g., creation and annihilation of a history file) in a Brownian computer, and show that it is not the making of a measurement that prevents the demon from breaking the second law but rather the logically irreversible act of erasing the record of one measurement to make room for the next.
Book
Complexity, Entropy and the Physics of Information
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the connections between quantum and classical physics, information and its transfer, computation, and their significance for the formulation of physical theories, but also consider the origins and evolution of the information-processing entities, their complexity, and the manner in which they analyze their perceptions to form models of the Universe.
