Summary of lab's interests

The lab is one of the main computer science laboratories in France. It covers all main areas of research in this field, with a large networking department. Within this department, the complex networks team (http://complexnetworks.fr) conducts interdisciplinary research on all kinds of networks, ranging from the internet to social networks, and including biological networks.

Summary of project

Large real-world networks have important structural features with key impact on the way information and viruses spread within their members. Recent advances led to a situation where, for the first time, large scale data is available on both these networks and diffusion phenomena occuring on them. The goal of this project is to confront usual assumptions and models to real-world data, thus leading to fundamental advances in this critical field.
