A Scale-Free Evolution Model of Logistics Information Networks

As the most important part of logistics process, logistics information plays the extremely vital role to connect and integrate the logistics system. Based on the complex networks theory the topological characteristic of logistics information complex networks is analyzed. Based on the basic hypotheses of that the nodes of the logistics information networks are heterogeneous and have limit rationality, using theory of complex networks, the paper gives a scale-free networks model of logistics information networks growth. The conclusion: according the different fitness distribution, the logistics information network topology characterized by the different power law connectivity distribution.
