Recent decades have seen a rise in the use of physics methods to study different societal
phenomena. This development has been due to physicists venturing outside of their …

In recent years the research community has accumulated overwhelming evidence for the
emergence of complex and heterogeneous connectivity patterns in a wide range of …

Real networks exhibit heterogeneous nature with nodes playing far different roles in
structure and function. To identify vital nodes is thus very significant, allowing us to control …

Professor Barabási's talk described how the tools of network science can help understand
the Web's structure, development and weaknesses. The Web is an information network, in …

Synchronization of an ensemble of oscillators is an emergent phenomenon present in
several complex systems, ranging from social and physical to biological and technological …

Over the past decade, the use of networks has led to a new modelling paradigm combining
several branches of science, including physics, mathematics, biology and social sciences …

Identifying influential nodes in dynamical processes is crucial in understanding network
structure and function. Degree, H-index and coreness are widely used metrics, but …

Gathering events, eg, going to gyms and meetings, are ubiquitous and crucial in the
spreading phenomena, which induce higher-order interactions, and thus can be described …

Network modeling plays a critical role in identifying statistical regularities and structural
principles common to many systems. The large majority of recent modeling approaches are …

In recent years the increasing availability of computer power and informatics tools has
enabled the gathering of reliable data quantifying the complexity of socio-technical systems …
