Abstract:Abstract-Several systems can be modeled as sets of interconnected networks or networks with multiple types of connections, here generally called multilayer networks. Spreading processes such as information propagation among users of an online social networks, or the diffusion of pathogens among individuals through their contact network, are fundamental phenomena occurring in these networks. However, while information diffusion in single networks has received considerable attention from various disciplines for … Show more
“…One important aspect of spreading infection across multilayer networks is that it can also spread from one layer to another. Generally, there are three possibilities for spreading process [231,232]: same-node, inter-layer, when infection switches layer but remains on the same node, e.g., when an infected individual travels from one city to another city; other-node inter-layer, when infection continues spreading to another node in another layer, e.g., spreading of infection between individuals in different age profiles through direct physical contact. In third type, other-node intra-layer, when infection spreads across the same community.…”

“…In third type, other-node intra-layer, when infection spreads across the same community. In the context of interacting spreading processes in multilayer networks, two types of thresholds have recently been introduced, called survival threshold measuring if infection will survive and absolute-dominance threshold indicating whether it can completely remove another competing process [231].…”

“…This research provides vital insight in terms of the efficiency of vaccination under different circumstances, yet empirical networks usually have particular topology properties that require special care. This includes taking into account community structure [170,188,[329][330][331][332], changes in the network structure over time [52,218,[333][334][335][336][337], as well as multilayer properties that are typical for a large plethora of real-world networks [203,231,240,241,[338][339][340][341][342][343][344][345][346][347]. In what follows, we will review vaccination programs that take into account the particular aspects of these properties on various types of networks.…”

Historically, infectious diseases caused considerable damage to human societies, and they continue to do so today. To help reduce their impact, mathematical models of disease transmission have been studied to help understand disease dynamics and inform prevention strategies. Vaccination-one of the most important preventive measures of modern times-is of great interest both theoretically and empirically. And in contrast to traditional approaches, recent research increasingly explores the pivotal implications of individual behavior and heterogeneous contact patterns in populations. Our report reviews the developmental arc of theoretical epidemiology with emphasis on vaccination, as it led from classical models assuming homogeneously mixing (mean-field) populations and ignoring human behavior, to recent models that account for behavioral feedback and/or population spatial/social structure. Many of the methods used originated in statistical physics, such as lattice and network models, and their associated analytical frameworks. Similarly, the feedback loop between vaccinating behavior and disease propagation forms a coupled nonlinear system with analogs in physics. We also review the new paradigm of digital epidemiology, wherein sources of digital data such as online social media are mined for high-resolution information on epidemiologically relevant individual behavior. Armed with the tools and concepts of statistical physics, and further assisted by new sources of digital data, models that capture nonlinear interactions between behavior and disease dynamics offer a novel way of modeling real-world phenomena, and can help improve health outcomes. We conclude the review by discussing open problems in the field and promising directions for future research.

“…A similar idea of using physical and social network was also found to influence the cost of propagation. The concept of multilayer network was also seen in the work of Salehi et al [30] where a modeling aspect of propagating the process is discussed. Reduction of such cost of propagation was found in the work of Guler et al [31].…”
Abstract-The concept of Information Propagation has been studied to illustrate the particular, discrete, and explicit behavior of the nodes in a complex and highly distributed and connected networks. The complex network structure exhibits various challenges towards information propagation due to the usage of diversified communication protocol and dynamic behavior in the context of uncertainty. This paper is first one of its kind, which reviews frequently addressed problems, the most significant research techniques, for addressing various research problems associated with the information propagation concerning to social network analysis, data routing behavior in the multi-path wireless networks, multimedia transmission, and security. This paper is useful for the various researchers, academicians, and industry having research interest into social network analysis, predictive modeling and information propagation analysis.
