Networks play a central role in today's society, since many
sectors employing information technology, such as communication,
mobility, and transport - even social interactions and political
activities - are based on and rely on networks. In these times of
globalization and the current global financial crisis with its
complex and nearly incomprehensible entanglements of various
structures and its huge effect on seemingly unrelated institutions
and organizations, the need to understand large networks, their
complex structures, and the processes governing them is becoming
more and more important.
This state-of-the-art survey reports on the progress made in
selected areas of this important and growing field, thus helping to
analyze existing large and complex networks and to design new and
more efficient algorithms for solving various problems on these
networks since many of them have become so large and complex that
classical algorithms are not sufficient anymore. This volume
emerged from a research program funded by the German Research
Foundation (DFG) consisting of projects focusing on the design of
new discrete algorithms for large and complex networks. The 18
papers included in the volume present the results of projects
realized within the program and survey related work. They have been
grouped into four parts: network algorithms, traffic networks,
communication networks, and network analysis and simulation.
