With the proliferation of ubiquitous computing devices and mobile internet, it is envisaged that future pervasive services will be increasingly large-scale and operate at an inter-organizational level. Designing and implementing pervasive services will therefore become a more complex

The search for unifying properties of complex networks is popular, challenging, and important. For modeling approaches that focus on robustness and fragility as unifying concepts, the Internet is an especially attractive case study, mainly because its applications are ubiquitous and pervasive
