Centrality measure ranking for a multiple network is provided by a method that includes obtaining a representation of a multiplex network including layers and nodes representing communicating entities. The method determines a node centrality measure for each node of the nodes. This includes determining intra-layer and inter-layer centrality measures. The method determines a respective centrality measure for each communicating entity as a function of node centrality measures for nodes representing the communicating entity across the layers of the multiplex network. The method also ranks the communicating entities by their centrality measures.
