Air Route Networks through Complex Networks Theory connects theory research with network connectivity analysis, providing practitioners with the tools they need to develop more efficient, resilient and profitable air route networks. The book helps airline route planners and executives create more robust route networks that are less vulnerable to disruptions, such as node isolation. The book further explores errors and attacks in complex networks, strategies for detecting critical nodes and cascading failure models to assess and maximize robustness. The book explains how to measure air route network connectivity with complex network representations. Air transport is among the most dynamic and toughest competition industries in today's global economy. The quality of air route network design is a key strategic factor in an airline's viability. These robust networks provide for more stable and secure carrier operations vs. those based simply on existing supply and demand volumes. Node-specific and network-specific representations are covered, along with in-depth coverage of connectivity in special and temporal networks. These collective tools serve as a guide for practitioners seeking to apply complex network theory to the airline industry.

Esta obra presenta una coleccion de 18 casos que han sido creados como resultado del proyecto de innovacion docente "Transversalidad en el diseno curricular del Master Universitario en Ingenieria de Organizacion." El proyecto de innovacion docente conto con el apoyo del Instituto de Ciencias de la Educacion de la Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya y tuvo como finalidad aumentar la interconexion de los contenidos impartidos en el citado Master. La coleccion de casos incluidos en esta obra se utiliza como material docente transversal. Hemos indicado en cada caso las asignaturas para las que fueron creados. Para informacion complementaria sobre las propuestas de resolucion de los casos o sus notas de ensenanza, encontrara los datos de contacto de los autores al final del libro.
