    Citation Excerpt :

    Following the encouraging results we found for DACCER approximating the closeness centrality ranking, we plan to investigate in our future work other (local) classifier functions that may infer different global metrics in large-scale complex networks based on localized information. Furthermore, most complex networks also present dynamic behavior [40,41]. As future work, we plan to investigate how DACCER can contribute to the analysis and modeling of the dynamic behavior of complex networks.

E´ric Fleury is a professor at ENS de Lyon, Computer Science Department since 2007. Eric Fleury is the scientific leader of the INRIA D-NET research team/ INRIA Grenoble – Rhône-Alpes research centers. D-NET team is located at ENS Lyon and hosted by IXXI (Rhône Alpes Complex systems institute). Eric is also in the scientific board and in the steering committee of the IXXI. He received his Master degree in Computer science from École Normale Suprieure de Lyon, France in 1992. He received his PhD, degree in Computer Science, 1996 in communication and routing in distributed architectures from ENS de Lyon, and the Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches specializing in group communication in computer networks in 2002. From 1998 to 2003, he was a full research officer at INRIA (the french national institute for research in computer science and control). His research interests are in the area of network science and more precisely in dynamic networks: measure, analysis, models. Since September 2009, Eric Fleury is the head of the Computer Science department of ENS Lyon, in particular in charge of the MASTER in modeling complex systems.

Alessandro Vespignani is Sternberg Distinguished Professor at Northeastern University with appointments in the College of Computer and Information Sciences, the Bouve’ College of Health Sciences and the Department of Physics. He is the director of Laboratory for the Modeling of Biological and Socio-technical systems. Prof. Vespignani received his undergraduate degree and Ph.D., both in physics and both from the University of Rome “La Sapienza,” in 1990 and 1993 respectively. He completed his postdoctoral research at Yale University and Leiden University. Prof. Vespignani worked at the International Center for Theoretical Physics (UNESCO) in Trieste and at the University of Paris-Sud in France as a member of the National Council for Scientific Research (CNRS) before moving to Indiana University in 2004. Before joining Northeastern University Vespignani was J.H. Rudy Professor of Informatics and Computing at Indiana University and serving as the Director of the Center for Complex Networks and Systems Research and the Associate Director of the Pervasive Technology Institute. Recently Vespignani’s research activity focuses on the interdisciplinary application of statistical and numerical simulation methods in the analysis of epidemic and spreading phenomena and the study of biological, social, and technological networks. For several years, he has been working on the characterization and modeling of the Internet, the WWW, and large-scale information networks. Prof. Vespignani is fellow of the American Physical Society and elected member of the Academy of Europe. He is also Editorial Board Member of several scientific journals and Scientific Director of the Institute for Scientific Interchange Foundation in Italy.
