What is a Supernetwork?A Supernetwork is a network, consisting of
nodes, links, and flows, that is over andabove existing networks.

Challenges
• Decision Making– Centralized vs. Decentralized– More alternatives
• Complexity– Large scale
Competition• Equilibrium vs. Optimization

Nash Equilibrium

Commuting
Telecommuting

Why Telecommuting?
• Reduce traffic congestion• Reduce emissions• Land use• Human resource policy

Telecommuting
• Number of telecommutersincreased from 4 millionto 23.6 million in the pastdecade.
• Recent legislation permitsfederal employees toselect the telecommutingoption
• 72.4% reported thatworking at home slightlyor greatly increasedproductivity

Questions
• Telecommute or Commute?• How often?• What’s the impact on traffic?• What’s the impact on land-use?• What’s the impact on environment?

A Conceptualized Supernetworkof Commuting vs. Telecommuting

Be Aware of Paradoxes
A decrease in demanddemand on a supernetworkwith a zero emission link may result inan increase in emissions.emissions.
Adding a new path which consists solelyof a zero emission link and whichshares no links with any other path mayresult in an increase in emissionsemissions.

What do we see?
• The importance of the incorporationof Network Topology, Cost andDemand Structure, Users Behavior.
• The interconnectivity among distinctnetwork systems

A Supernetwork may have both virtual andphysical links
A Supernetwork may be multitiered andmultilevel.
Decision-makers may have distinct criteriasuch as time, monetary cost, opportunitycost, risk, and/or safety.

Applications of Supernetworks
• Telecommuting / Commuting decisionmaking
• Teleshopping / Shopping decision making• Supply Chain Networks with E-commerce• Financial Networks with Electronic
Transactions
