Abstract:

We consider the following questions pertaining to very large, realistic information, social and infrastructure networks.

As a specific example, we will consider methods for constructing and analyzing very large social contact networks that form the basis of {\em network epidemiology}.

Based on our results we formulate the Cultural and Structural Similarity Hypothesis for Data and Information Transportability.
