This volume constitutes the proceedings of NetSci-X 2020: the Sixth
International School and Conference on Network Science, which was
held in Tokyo, Japan, in January 2020. NetSci-X is the Network
Science Society's winter conference series that covers a wide
variety of interdisciplinary topics on networks. Participants come
from various fields, including (but not limited to): mathematics,
physics, computer science, social sciences, management and
marketing sciences, organization science, communication science,
systems science, biology, ecology, neuroscience, medicine, as well
as business. This volume consists of contributed papers that have
been accepted to NetSc-X 2020 through a rigorous peer review
process. Researchers, students, and professionals will gain
first-hand information about today's cutting-edge research frontier
of network science.
Around the globe, there is an increasingly urgent need to provide
opportunities for learners to embrace complexity; to develop the
many skills and habits of mind that are relevant to today's complex
and interconnected world; and to make learning more connected to
our rapidly changing workplace and society. This presents an
opportunity to (1) leverage new paradigms for understanding the
structure and function of teaching and learning communities, and
(2) to promote new approaches to developing methods, curricular
materials, and resources. Network science - the study of
connectivity - can play an important role in these activities, both
as an important subject in teaching and learning and as a way to
develop interconnected curricula. Since 2010, an international
community of network science researchers and educators has come
together to raise the global level of network literacy by applying
ideas from network science to teaching and learning. Network
Science in Education - which refers to both this community and to
its activities - has evolved in response to the escalating activity
in the field of network science and the need for people to be able
to access the field through education channels. Network Science In
Education: Transformational Approaches in Teaching and Learning
appeals to both instructors and professionals, while offering case
studies from a wide variety of activities that have been developed
around the globe: the creation of entirely new courses and degree
programs; tools for K-20 learners, teachers, and the general
public; and in-depth analysis of selected programs. As
network-based pedagogy and the community of practice continues to
grow, we hope that the book's readers will join this vibrant
network education community to build on these nascent ideas and
help deepen the understanding of networks for all learners.

Generally, spontaneous pattern formation phenomena are random
and repetitive, whereas elaborate devices are the deterministic
product of human design.
Yet, biological organisms and collective insect constructions are
exceptional examples of complex systems that are both
self-organized and architectural.
This book is the first initiative of its kind toward establishing a
new field of research, Morphogenetic Engineering, to explore the
modeling and implementation of self-architecturing systems.
Particular emphasis is placed on the programmability and
computational abilities of self-organization, properties that are
often underappreciated in complex systems science while,
conversely, the benefits of self-organization are often
underappreciated in engineering methodologies.
Altogether, the aim of this work is to provide a framework for and
examples of a larger class of self-architecturing systems, while
addressing fundamental questions such as
> How do biological organisms carry out morphogenetic tasks so
reliably?
> Can we extrapolate their self-formation capabilities to
engineered systems?
> Can physical systems be endowed with information (or
informational systems be embedded in physics) so as to create
autonomous morphologies and functions?
> What are the core principles and best practices for the design
and engineering of such morphogenetic systems?
The intended audience consists of researchers and graduate students
who are working on, starting to work on, or interested in
programmable self-organizing systems in a wide range of scientific
fields, including computer science, robotics, bioengineering,
control engineering, physics, theoretical biology, mathematics, and
many others.
Adding one and one makes two, usually. But sometimes things add up
to more than the sum of their parts. This observation, now
frequently expressed in the maxim "more is different", is one of
the characteristic features of complex systems and, in particular,
complex networks. Along with their ubiquity in real world systems,
the ability of networks to exhibit emergent dynamics, once they
reach a certain size, has rendered them highly attractive targets
for research. The resulting network hype has made the word
"network" one of the most in uential buzzwords seen in almost every
corner of science, from physics and biology to economy and social
sciences. The theme of "more is different" appears in a different
way in the present v- ume, from the viewpoint of what we call
"adaptive networks." Adaptive networks uniquely combine dynamics on
a network with dynamical adaptive changes of the underlying network
topology, and thus they link classes of mechanisms that were
previously studied in isolation. Here adding one and one certainly
does not make two, but gives rise to a number of new phenomena,
including highly robust se- organization of topology and dynamics
and other remarkably rich dynamical beh- iors.

Focused Psychotherapy Offers practitioners an approach to
psychotherapeutic treatment that is both financially viable and has
sufficient clinical depth to assure genuine psychological growth.
Providing a strikingly clear description of this approach, this
volume enables psychotherapists to quickly hone in on the client's
true agenda, therefore avoiding unnecessarily long and drawn out
therapeutic work.
