The Research on the Complexity of the Equipment Support Network Based on Complex Networks

A new method for equipment support network was introduced within the framework of complex networks theory, and in that case, the topological structure and formation characteristics of the real support network would be better understood. Especially, several typical statistical properties of the network which was from three different levels, i. e., unit level, module level and network level were analyzed. The empirical results show that equipment support network has the similar topological attributes, such as scale free behavior, small world effect, community structure and degree correlation comparing with other previously studied social or technical networks.
