Keeping networks under control: New approach can control large complex networks, from cells to power grids

The need to ensure the proper functioning of the world's many underlying networks -- such as the Internet, power grids and global air transportation -- is increasing. But controlling networks is very difficult. A research team has developed the first broadly applicable computational approach identifying interventions that can both rescue complex networks from the brink of failure and reprogram them to a desired task. The approach to control could have a transformative impact on the complex networks field.
