Efficient behavior of small-world networks.

V. Latora, M. Marchiori
Computer Science, Medicine
Physical review letters

Economic small-world behavior in weighted networks

V. Latora, M. Marchiori
Computer Science, Physics
3 April 2002

We introduce the concept of economic small worlds, that formalizes the idea of networks that are “cheap” to build, and nevertheless efficient in propagating information. Expand

Model for cascading failures in complex networks.

Physical review. E, Statistical, nonlinear, and…
5 September 2003

We show that the breakdown of a single node is sufficient to collapse the efficiency of the entire system if the node is among the ones with largest load. Expand

The Network Analysis of Urban Streets: A Primal Approach

S. Porta, P. Crucitti, V. Latora
Mathematics
1 October 2006

We show that, in the MCA primal approach, much more than in the dual approach, some centrality indices nicely capture the ‘skeleton’ of the urban structure that impacts so much on spatial cognition. Expand

The network analysis of urban streets: A dual approach

S. Porta, P. Crucitti, V. Latora
Computer Science, Physics
9 November 2004

The application of the network approach to the urban case poses several questions in terms of how to deal with metric distances, which kind of graph representation to use, what kind of measures to investigate, how to deepen the correlation between measures of the structure and dynamics on the network, what are the possible contributions from the GIS community.

NextPlace: A Spatio-temporal Prediction Framework for Pervasive Systems

S. Scellato, Mirco Musolesi, C. Mascolo, V. Latora, A. Campbell
Computer Science
Pervasive
12 June 2011

We present NextPlace, a novel approach to location prediction based on nonlinear time series analysis of the arrival and residence times of users in relevant places. Expand

Structural measures for multiplex networks.

F. Battiston, V. Nicosia, V. Latora
Mathematics, Physics
Physical review. E, Statistical, nonlinear, and…
14 August 2013

In this paper we present a general framework to describe and study multiplex networks, whose links are either unweighted or weighted. Expand

Structural properties of planar graphs of urban street patterns.

A. Cardillo, S. Scellato, V. Latora, S. Porta
Mathematics, Medicine
Physical review. E, Statistical, nonlinear, and…
17 October 2005

Recent theoretical and empirical studies have focused on the structural properties of complex relational networks in social, biological, and technological systems. Here we study the basic properties… Expand
