Self-organized networks are pervasive in communication systems such as the Internet, overlay networks, peer-to-peer networks, and cluster-based services. These networks evolve into complex topologies, under specific driving forces, i.e. user demands, technological innovations, design objectives...

The collective dynamics of large-scale computer networks remains elusive due to not only the internal adaptive behaviors of network-wide flows, but also the spatial–temporal changes in the external environment. In this paper, we investigate the time-dependent collective behavior by using a...
