A modified connectivity link addition strategy to improve the resilience of multiplex networks against attacks: Resource Efficiency and Performance Trade-offs

Read & download PDF
Abstract

Efficiency claims should state which resources are saved, what performance is exchanged, and whether the trade-off remains acceptable at operational scale. This structured evidence review evaluates "A modified connectivity link addition strategy to improve the resilience of multiplex networks against attacks" alongside nine author-disjoint, topically matched publications in network resilience engineering. It compares construct definitions, evaluation choices, operating assumptions, and reported limitations instead of treating bibliographic similarity as empirical equivalence. Viewed through resource efficiency and performance trade-offs, the map separates claims supported by the available record from questions that still require full-text extraction, replication, or new experiments. The synthesis is interpretive rather than meta-analytic and therefore does not present a pooled effect estimate or a new causal result. The resulting agenda reports compute, memory, energy, latency, and maintenance costs beside task performance at realistic scale.
