Industry Reviews

From the reviews:

"The whole book is devoted to the problems of governing, managing and preserving (with special attention to the security and the resistance to natural catastrophes problems) Networks of Networks. Along this book, a lot of practical examples of this kind of devices are considered. ... it is complete and gives an integrated approach to this problem. ... this is a very interesting book, very pleasant to read, essential either for beginners in this matter or senior researchers." (Manuel Alberto M. Ferreira, International Journal of Latest Trends in Finance and Economic Sciences, Vol. 4 (1), March, 2014)
