Modularity and dynamics on complex networks

Abstract: Complex networks are typically not homogeneous, as they tend to display an array of structures at different scales A feature that has attracted a lot of research is their modular organisation, ie, networks may often be considered as being composed of certain building blocks, or modules In this book, we discuss a number of ways in which this idea of modularity can be conceptualised, focusing specifically on the interplay between modular network structure and dynamics taking place on a network We discuss, in particular, how modular structure and symmetries may impact on network dynamics and, vice versa, how observations of such dynamics may be used to infer the modular structure We also revisit several other notions of modularity that have been proposed for complex networks and show how these can be related to and interpreted from the point of view of dynamical processes on networks Several references and pointers for further discussion and future work should inform practitioners and researchers, and may motivate further studies in this area at the core of Network Science

Modeling for the what-if-er: comments.

Abstract: The article presents a response to the article "Modeling For the What-If-Er," by Charles P. Bonini. The author states that it is more important that computer modeling is used by working managers to aid in decision making, and not by experts who cannot directly apply the results. The author agrees that the three dimensions of interactive decision simulation are conversational, modularity, and integration. The author argues that interpersonal communication and subjective judgment will still play an important role in managerial decision making.
