A network is a mathematical object consisting of a set of
pointsthat are connected to each other in somefashion by lines. It
turns out thissimple descriptioncorresponds to a bewildering array
of systems in the real world, ranging from technological ones such
as the Internet and WorldWide Web, biological networks such as that
of connections of thenervous systems, food webs or protein
interactions, infrastructural systems such as networks of roads,
airports or the power-grid, to patterns of social and professional
relationships such as friendship, sex partners, network ofHollywood
actors, co-authorship networks and many more.
Recent years have witnessed a substantial amount of interest
within thescientific community in the properties of these networks.
The emergenceof the internet in particular, coupled with the
widespread availability ofinexpensive computing resources has
facilitated studies ranging fromlarge scale empirical analysis of
networks in the real world, to the developmentof theoretical models
and tools to explore the various properties of these systems.The
study of networks is broadly interdisciplinary and central
developments haveoccurred in many fields, including mathematics,
physics, computer and informationsciences, biology and the social
sciences.
This book brings together a collectionof cutting-edge research
in the field from adiversearray of researchers ranging
fromphysicists to social scientists and presents them in acoherent
fashion, highlighting thestrong interconnections between the
different areas. Topicsincluded are social networks and social
media, opinion and innovation diffusion, biological and
health-related networks, language networks, as well as network
theory, community detection, or growth models for Complex
Networks."
