Outline of Final Research Achievements

The objective of this research is to realize a framework of designing network controls for large-scale networks. First, on the basis of statistical mechanics, I built a hierarchical model to be able to understand the interaction between microscopic behavior(i.e., node control) and macroscopic behavior(i.e., property of the entire network) in large-scale networks. Then, I consolidated the framework of network controls for large-scale network on the basis of the hierarchical model. Through experiment using a network control designed by my framework, I clarified the effectiveness of the hierarchical model and the framework for large-scale networks.
