Formål

Complex Networks II, which is the second part of Complex Networks I + II, is a senior graduate / graduate course. The purpose of this new course is to give the student an advanced introduction and a cross-disciplinary understanding of networked systems in fields such diverse as engineering, computer science, physics, biology and social sciences. By working with generic models the student will learn how to use and extend such models as a mean for the qualitative and quantitative explanation and understanding of various networked phenomena and complex processes.

Indhold

Examples of networks are the Internet, the World Wide Web, power grids, society, gene interactions, and many more. Besides their different roots, their structure, dynamics and function share common universal properties. This cross-disciplinary course covers an introduction into graph theory, the statistical description of network structure, the modeling of network structure and dynamics, and the analysis of network function. A great variety of examples from system engineering, computer science, physics, system biology and social sciences will be given.
