In the last decade we have seen the emergence of a new
inter-disciplinary field concentrating on the understanding large
networks which are dynamic, large, open, and have a structure that
borders order and randomness. The field of Complex Networks has
helped us better understand many complex phenomena such as spread
of decease, protein interaction, social relationships, to name but
a few. The field of Complex Networks has received a major boost
caused by the widespread availability of huge network data
resources in the last years. One of the most surprising findings is
that real networks behave very distinct from traditional
assumptions of network theory. Traditionally, real networks were
supposed to have a majority of nodes of about the same number of
connections around an average. This is typically modeled by random
graphs. But modern network research could show that the majority of
nodes of real networks is very low connected, and, by contrast,
there exists some nodes of very extreme connectivity (hubs). The
current theories coupled with the availability of data makes the
field of Complex Networks (sometimes called Network Sciences) one
of the most promising interdisciplinary disciplines of today. This
sample of works in this book gives as a taste of what is in the
horizon such controlling the dynamics of a network and in the
network, using social interactions to improve urban planning,
ranking in music, and the understanding knowledge transfer in
influence networks.
