Various evolving approaches have been extensively applied to evolve densely connected communities in complex networks. However these techniques have been primarily single objective optimization techniques, which optimize only a specific feature of the network missing on other important features....

In the last decade, the problem of community detection in complex networks has attracted the attention of many researchers in many domains, several methods and algorithms have been proposed to deal with this problem, many of them consider it as an optimization problem and various bio-inspired...

This article describes how parallel to the continuous growth of the Internet, which allows people to share and collaborate more, social networks have become more attractive as a research topic in many different disciplines. Community structures are established upon interactions between people....

This paper studies international migration from a complex-network perspective. We define the international-migration network (IMN) as the weighted-directed graph where nodes are world countries and links account for the stock of migrants originated in a given country and living in another...

Regarding complex networks, one of the most relevant problems is to understand and to explore community structure. In particular it is important to define the network organization and the functions associated to the different network partitions. In this context, the idea is to consider some new...

Economic systems, traditionally analyzed as almost independent national systems, are increasingly connected on a global scale. Only recently becoming available, the World Input-Output Database (WIOD) is one of the first efforts to construct the multi-regional input-output (MRIO) tables at the...

Theory of complex networks proved successful in the description of a variety of static networks ranging from biology to computer and social sciences to economics and finance. Here we use network models to describe the evolution of a particular economic system, namely the International Trade...

Recently, the importance of community-centric systems is increasing in the human society. Human-centric systems can enhance the accessibility and usability of systems and devices, and they can improve the quality of life in many areas such as supporting human activities, communication and...
