According to recent research from the United States, "The systematic study of large-scale networks has unveiled the ubiquitous presence of connectivity patterns characterized by large-scale heterogeneities and unbounded statistical fluctuations.
"These features affect dramatically the behavior of the diffusion processes occurring on networks, determining the ensuing statistical properties of their evolution pattern and dynamics."
"In this article," said V. Colizza and colleagues at Indiana University, "we present a stochastic computational framework...
