This book successfully conceptualizes, defines, and constructs mathematically rigorous, computer-based tools for the assessment of network performance and efficiency, along with robustness and vulnerability analysis. The result is a thorough exploration that promotes an understanding of the critical infrastructure of today''s network systems, from congested urban transportation networks and supply chain networks under disruption to financial networks and the Internet.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe authors approach the analyses by abstracting not only topological structures of networks, but also the behavior of network users, the demand for resources, the resul\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePART I NETWORK FUNDAMENTALS, EFFICIENCY MEASUREMENT, AND VULNERABILITY ANALYSIS.\u003c\/b\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1 Introduction and Overview.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 Fundamental Methodologies, Network Models, and Algorithms.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Network Performance Measurement and Robustness Analysis.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePART II APPLICATIONS AND EXTENSIONS.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 Application of the Measures to Transportation Networks.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 Supply Chain Networks with Disruption Risks.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 Critical Nodes and Links in Financial Networks.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 Dynamic Networks, the Internet, and Electric Power.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePART III MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS, NETWORK INTEGRATION, AND SYNERGIES.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8 A System-Optimization Perspective for Supply Chain Network Integration.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e9 Environmental and Cost Synergy in Network Integration.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e10 Multiproduct Supply Chain Network Integration.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e11 Network Oligopolies and the Merger Paradox.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBibliography.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGlossary.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Wiley \u0026 Sons Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49402334478679,"sku":"9780470444962","price":116.96,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780470444962.jpg?v=1730480097","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/fragile-networks-9780470444962","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
