Abstract

Epidemic spread, rumor, and synchronization models are fundamental to the further understanding of dynamic processes. Most models developed on complex networks consider only static structures, where connections are maintained over time. In recent years, models of epidemic propagation in temporal networks have been proposed. In these networks, the connections are not static, but vary during the propagation of the infectious agent. In this paper, we aim to study such models and analyze dynamic processes in mobile agent networks. We will model epidemics, rumors, and synchronizations by evaluating how the network topology and the movement model used influence their propagation. The results obtained will allow a better understanding about the dynamics in complex networks with time-varying structure.
