Abstract
Systems with many components (individuals or local populations as cities, or metropolitan areas, or regions, …) connected by non-trivial associations or relationships can be statistically described by means of the formalism of complex networks which is based on descriptors like degree distributions, degree-degree correlations, etc. In the last years, many researchers from different fields have been using different approaches to model processes taking place on complex networks.
