"This book offers its readers a critical engagement with three key concepts for social and communication theory today - connectivity, networks and flows. The contributors are committed to conceptualizing contemporary communications in a changing world. They point to globalizing and deterritorializing processes, and to the increasing significance of mobilities in late modern existence - yet this is also a book about the continuing importance of locality, senses of place and physically copresent interaction in daily living." "Connectivity, Networks and Flows combines theoretical reflection with analysis of specific media and cultural practices. Featured examples of such practices include uses of mobile phones and the Internet, activities of online (and offline) working and socializing, and constructions of liveness and immediacy in electronically mediated communication. The book will be of particular interest to researchers and students in communications, media and cultural studies, sociology and social theory."--BOOK JACKET.

This research elaborated in greater depth how the connectivity of WEF flows occurs and how their related governance networks reconfigure. This research argued that resource flows contain a social and a material dimension that interplay with one another in giving shape to resource provisioning systems and in connecting WEF. This research work contributed to the theorising of the urban nexus. It shed light on the socio-material interface of flows in shaping connections between WEF, and the actors facilitating these connections. Its main argument is that in the quest for understanding the WEF urban nexus, cities are crucial spaces in which environmental flows get configured and linked through governance networks. Some of the key actors to look at when identifying nexuses are switchers and programmers. These are actors that link and configure the socio-material flows of WEF facilitating the emergence of nexus governance networks. These actors play an important role on how nexus governance networks emerge, and how they connect and (re)configure WEF flows. This research focused on the interaction of structures, functions, and power dynamics of networks (re)connecting and (re)configuring WEF in higher or lesser nexus outcomes. This thesis proposed a set of concepts to analyse the nexus as exemplified through examples from geothermal energy in Reykjavik, a food centre showcase in Bologna, proximity food in Barcelona, the cases of the last mile of food and the car-regulated last time in Amsterdam (the experimental city). In the in-depth case study of Barcelona, this thesis argued that the sustainability of proximity food is not just determined by distance (between places of production and access) but by the specific ways in which food flows relate to connections with energy-and-water flows. We conclude that in Barcelona, proximity is developed as a concept to improve and gain on food sustainability and it has been employed as a crucial element in the re-coding of the urban food network and its food flows. However, such code and coding still deserve further developments in closing physical and social distances, not only within the food network (through its processes) but between the WEF dimensions at and through every process of food provisioning in Barcelona. In the in-depth case study of the car-regulated city of Amsterdam, this thesis unpacked the content and meaning of what occurs in distributing food in the proximity. The authors study the case of emergent e-transport alternatives distributing food in the last mile (following food flows on board of electric boats, electric vehicles, and electric bikes). The authors argued that a more sustainable last mile of food requires more than a shift toward greener modes of transport. It is also about the wider supporting urban infrastructure, including fuel shifts, alternative infrastructure provisioning (e.g. the use of canals as opposed to roads), and the socio-political infrastructure supporting or limiting the sustainable urban food transition (e.g. who supports or obstructs the transition). One of the final conclusions of this thesis suggests that governing the nexus requires a nexus interface which is mainly developed by switchers & programmers with the help of incumbent actors. The thesis concluded on two tools that switchers, programmers, and incumbents used for steering nexus projects in cities. 1) Food proximity: learning from food short supply chains and practice, and 2) New social relations organising water, energy, and food: the open-code experimental city. between urban versus global governance, for proximity or for an experimental-city policy. After critically reflecting on the pros and cons of such tools, this research suggests that researching the urban requires to also study the continuum of urban flows on the move (socio-material), across urban and global scales, through resource networks. A final thought on actors making the nexus of governance networks is that new social relations as shown in cities do not always come along straightforwardly. WEF nexus thinking needs to be assisted by guiding principles, concepts, methodologies, and tools (as proximity and experimentation, but also many other ones) that can provide an initial direction towards pathways of further connectivity. In either way, from a closed-code fashion or from a more open-source code one.

Networks are characterised by things flowing from one vortex to another along a sequence of intermediate arcs. This unit shows how networks can be used to transmit information and covers topics such as Connectivity, Flows in basic networks, Maximum flows and minimum cuts and Networks with lower and upper capacities.

Network flow and network design problems arise in various application areas of combinatorial optimization, e.g., in transportation, production, or telecommunication. This thesis contributes new results to four different problem classes from this area, providing models and algorithms with immediate practical impact as well as theoretical insights into complexity and combinatorial structure of network optimization problems: (i) We introduce a new model for tactical transportation planning that employs a cyclic network expansion to integrate routing and inventory decisions into a unified capacitated network design formulation. We also devise several algorithmic approaches to solve the resulting optimization problem and demonstrate the applicability of our approach on a set of real-world logistic networks. (ii) We present approximation algorithms for combined location and network design problems, including the first constant factor approximation for capacitated location routing. (iii) We derive a max-flow/min-cut theorem for abstract flows over time, a generalization of the well-known work of Ford and Fulkerson that restricts to a minimal set of structural requirements. (iv) We devise algorithms for finding orientations of embedded graphs with degree constraints on vertices and faces, answering an open question by Frank.

Repairable flow networks are a new area of research, which analyzes the repair and flow disruption caused by failures of components in static flow networks. This book addresses a gap in current network research by developing the theory, algorithms and applications related to repairable flow networks and networks with disturbed flows. The theoretical results presented in the book lay the foundations of a new generation of ultra-fast algorithms for optimizing the flow in networks after failures or congestion, and the high computational speed creates the powerful possibility of optimal control of very large and complex networks in real time. Furthermore, the possibility for re-optimizing the network flows in real time increases significantly the yield from real production networks and reduces to a minimum the flow disruption caused by failures. The potential application of repairable flow networks reaches across many large and complex systems, including active power networks, telecommunication networks, oil and gas production networks, transportation networks, water supply networks, emergency evacuation networks, and supply networks. The book reveals a fundamental flaw in classical algorithms for maximising the throughput flow in networks, published since the creation of the theory of flow networks in 1956. Despite the years of intensive research, the classical algorithms for maximising the throughput flow leave highly undesirable directed loops of flow in the optimised networks. These flow loops are associated with wastage of energy and resources and increased levels of congestion in the optimised networks. Includes theory and practical examples to build a deep understanding of the issues Written by the leading scholar and researcher in this emerging field Features powerful software tools for analysis, optimization and control of repairable flow networks
