Application of Network Science
Three Main Areas of Network Science Application
- The most dyanmically evolving areas, biological networks, applies network theory to subcellular (metabolic, regulatory, genetic) networks, neural networks, and ecological networks like food webs and species interactions.
- Social and Economic networks, encompasses a wide range of topics such as social interactions, collaborations, social filtering, and economic alliances
- Infrastructure and communication networks, ranges from the Internet and the World Wide Web to power grids, phone networks, and sensor networks
