In this traditional approach  the temporal aspects are pre-encoded in the dynamic system model. \u003cbr\u003eTemporal-network methods, on the other hand, lift the temporal information from the level of system dynamics to the mathematical representation of the contact network itself. \u003cbr\u003eThis framework becomes particularly useful for cases where there is a lot of structure and heterogeneity both in the timings of interaction events and the network topology. \u003cbr\u003eThe advantage compared to common static network approaches is the ability to design more accurate models in order to explain and predict large-scale dynamic phenomena (such as, e.g., epidemic outbreaks and other spreading phenomena). On the other hand, temporal networkmethods are mathematically and conceptually more challenging. \u003cbr\u003eThis book is intended as a first introduction and state-of-the art overview of this rapidly emerging field.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2013-06-05\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783642364600\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-642-36461-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 352\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Berlin Heidelberg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45382483968140,"sku":"9783642364600","price":116.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783642364600.jpg?v=1774496415","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783642364600","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
