This comprehensive book provides a holistic framework for studying behavior and evolutionary dynamics in large-scale, decentralized, and heterogeneous crowd networks. In the rapidly evolving crowd cyber-ecosystems, millions of interconnected individuals, smart devices, government agencies, and enterprises engage in active interactions, influencing each other's decisions. Understanding the behaviors and strategic interactions of these intelligent entities is crucial for designing reliable networks capable of predicting and preventing detrimental events with negative impacts on society and the economy.

The book reviews fundamental methodologies for studying user interactions and evolutionary dynamics in crowd networks and discusses recent advancements in this interdisciplinary research field. It utilizes information diffusion over social networks as an example to explore the impact of user behavior on the network evolution process and demonstrates how this knowledge can enhance network performance.

Designed for graduate students and researchers from diverse disciplines, including data science, networking, signal processing, complex systems, and economics, the book encourages exploration of untapped areas in this domain. It aims to foster the development of crowd networks that offer efficient, effective, and reliable services.

By delving into the complexities of behavior and evolutionary dynamics in crowd networks, this book offers valuable insights for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers seeking to navigate the rapidly evolving digital landscape. It serves as a valuable resource for advancing our understanding of the dynamics and interactions within these networks and for designing innovative solutions that can harness their potential for positive societal impact.
