About the Cover

The center image on the cover represents an artistic design composed of fractal grid structures as a metaphor for digital business, science, communications, and technology.

The technical drawing at the top left on the cover is a representation of a 40-node string topology network (STN) that is transformed to an average path length (APL)-optimal small-world network after the addition of six long-range links (LLs) with the greedy global decision based LL addition technique. Due to the greedy LL addition, most of the LLs are attached to one of the anchor points that gradually evolves to a hub-node due to the long-range link affinity (see Section 5.10 for more details), and thus, the small-world network gradually evolves to a scale-free ...
