Preface
Networks composed of interacting, communicating, and co-operating processes provide powerful models for understanding the behavior of complex systems. The explosive development of the Internet in the last decade has made them pervasive in all aspects of our lives. It has also made possible their emergence as new models for applying computational techniques for solving and providing understanding for old problems with new insights. As such they often provide the framework for new methodologies that lead to better decision making in many fields such as transportation, communication, health, finance, and social engineering. Solving the many em
