Σύνοψη	Centrality analysis is a family of network-analytic measures, formalized by Freeman (1979), that quantifies the structural importance of individual nodes within a graph. Each centrality index captures a distinct mechanism of influence: degree centrality reflects direct connectivity, betweenness centrality identifies nodes that broker information flow, closeness centrality captures proximity to all others, and eigenvector centrality (along with PageRank) rewards connection to highly connected neighbors.	Network resilience and vulnerability analysis is an analytical framework, formalised by Albert, Jeong, and Barabási (2000), that measures how a network degrades functionally as nodes or edges are progressively removed. By running targeted-attack simulations — removing the highest-centrality nodes first — and random-failure simulations — removing nodes at uniform probability — the framework identifies which structural elements are critical to network integrity and where infrastructure is most exposed.
