Network Robustness under Large-Scale Attacks [electronic resource] / by Qing Zhou, Long Gao, Ruifang Liu, Shuguang Cui.

Introduction -- System Models -- Link-Level Network Robustness to Area Attacks -- Network-Wide Robustness to Area Attacks -- Simulation Results -- Conclusion.

Network Robustness under Large-Scale Attacks provides the analysis of network robustness under attacks, with a focus on large-scale correlated physical attacks. The book begins with a thorough overview of the latest research and techniques to analyze the network responses to different types of attacks over various network topologies and connection models. It then introduces a new large-scale physical attack model coined as area attack, under which a new network robustness measure is introduced and applied to study the network responses. With this book, readers will learn the necessary tools to evaluate how a complex network responds to random and possibly correlated attacks.
