Beschreibung
This book offers a visionary and interdisciplinary framework for rethinking mobile communication networks through the lens of complex systems. It combines theoretical rigor with real-world relevance, integrating network science, bio-inspired computation and modeling approach, and social behavior to model and design future-proof infrastructures. The innovative approach lies in merging multilayer and higher-order topologies with articial intelligence and behavioral dynamics, enabling systems that are adaptive, resilient, and socially aware. The book emphasizes the mutual feedback between technological design and human interactions. It addresses researchers, engineers, and policymakers engaged in 6G, digital health, smart cities, and sustainability, offering practical insights into designing intelligent, human-centric, and ethically aligned networks for a hyperconnected future.
Autorenporträt
Marialisa Scatà is a telecommunications engineer and researcher with extensive interdisciplinary expertise in complex systems, network science, and digital communication infrastructures. She holds a Masters degree in Telecommunications Engineering and a PhD in Computer and Telecommunications Engineering from the University of Catania (Italy), where she has served as a research fellow for over a decade and as a contract professor, and with which she continues to collaborate. Her research explores multilayer and higher-order networks, epidemic spreading models, evolutionary game theory, future ICT, bio-inspired models, AI-native communication systems, 6G, and mobile communications. She integrates social behavior, collective dynamics, awareness propagation, and mobile networks to design intelligent, adaptive, and human-centric infrastructures. Her work contributes to bridging digital and real-world systems through the interplay of network science, artificial intelligence, and behavioral dynamics, with applications in sustainability, digital health, and social resilience. She has collaborated with several international institutions and was a visiting researcher at the University of Cambridge (UK). She has participated in numerous scientific conferences worldwide as speaker and contributor. Her teaching experience includes courses in Wireless Networks, P2P Protocols, and network design, and seminars on bio-inspired modeling approach for Telecommunications. She actively contributes to the scientific community as author and reviewer for top-tier journals. She promotes inclusive and interdisciplinary approaches across digital anthropology, AI, social systems, and NextG communication.
