The Identification of Key Nodes in Aviation Networks

Abstract

Identifying key nodes of aviation networks is a challenging and valuable issue, which depends on the measurement and ranking of node importance. Node importance can be measured statically according to certain network topology characteristic. The efficiency of this method is high. Node importance can also be measured dynamically according to certain network dynamic process. The result measured by this method is more accurate and reasonable. The current situation of this research is systematically described. The future trend of this research is revealed as well.
