Although human navigation is a natural part of life, the exploration of the underlying mechanisms is far from trivial. A structured scientific dataset has been offered by the computer scientist András Gulyás and his research team to investigate human navigation in foreign complex systems. "We have been doing research in navigability of complex networks, both technological and natural ones," says Dr. Gulyás, senior research fellow at Budapest University of Technology and Economics and the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, "and we felt we would need a smart database collecting analyzable data on human navigation." https://phys.org/news/2018-03-dataset-human-strategies-foreign-networked.html Computer Sciences Tue, 13 Mar 2018 11:00:03 EDT news440140134 Recent research has revealed that during growth/evolution of networks, the emergence of "rich clubs," which are formed by high-degree hubs that are interconnected to each other more densely than expected, can be simply a matter of distance. The members of the club can easily utilize each other's spread-out system of connections. https://phys.org/news/2017-05-presence-rich-clubs-distance-networks.html General Physics Thu, 11 May 2017 06:47:09 EDT news413704020
