Foundational Research on MULTIlevel comPLEX networks and systems (MULTIPLEX)

Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: Oct 31, 2016,

Future advancements in ICT domain are closely linked to the understanding about how multi-level complex systems function. Indeed, multi-level dependencies may amplify cascade failures or make more sudden the collapse of the entire system. Recent large-scale blackouts resulting from cascades in the power-grid coupled to the control communication system witness this point very clearly. A better unde ...
