Modelling Complex Networks: Cameo Graphs And Transport Processes

Abstract

We discuss a model accounting for the creation and development of transport networks based on the Cameo principle which refers to the idea of distribution of resources, including land, water, minerals, fuel and wealth. We also give an outlook of the use of random walks as an effective tool for the investigation of network structures and its functional segmentation. In particular, we have studied the complex transport network of Venetian canals by means of random walks.
