Abstract

We find network-type entities in many technical fields, either as abstracted physical realities or as theoretical models to describe a typical structure of the underlying problem. In traffic engineering we have transportation- and in telecommunication communication networks. The electrical engineer thinks in the context of electrical networks and sewage waters are canalised in hydromechanic networks. The structural engineers encounters prestressed cable-nets. The geodesist, finally, is involved in geodetic networks with many subdivisions: levelling- and triangulation nets, trilateration- or “combined” nets, satellite- nets.
