Scalable Hybrid Wireless Network-on-Chip Architectures for Multicore Systems (2011, background): “The average shortest path length of small-world graphs is bounded by a polynomial in log(N), where N is the number of nodes, which makes them particularly interesting for efficient communication with minimal resources [26, 27].”
Learning Networks and Connective Knowledge (2010, background): “The properties of networks, as distinct from (typical) causal systems are expressed as a branch of graph theory, the study of which has recently come into prominence because of the work of Watts (2004) and Buchanan (2002).
