Abstract
Centrality measure ranking for a multiple network is provided by a method that includes obtaining a representation of a multiplex network having layers and nodes representing communicating entities, where at least two nodes, each being in a different layer of at least two layers of the layers, represent a communicating entity, determining, for each node of the at least two nodes, a node centrality measure, determining, for the communicating entity, an entity centrality measure as a function of the node centrality measures for the at least two nodes representing that communicating entity, and ranking the communicating entity relative to at least one other communicating entity of the plurality of communicating entities.
