What is network science?

Ulrik Brandes, Garry Robins, Ann McCranie et al. · 1 Apr 2013

Abstract This is the beginning of Network Science . The journal has been created because network science is exploding. As is typical for a field in formation, the discussions about its scope, contents, and foundations are intense. On these first few pages of the first issue of our new journal, we would like to share…

Clustering attributed graphs: Models, measures and methods

Cécile Bothorel, Juan David Cruz Gomez, Matteo Magnani et al. · 18 Mar 2015

Abstract Clustering a graph, i.e., assigning its nodes to groups, is an important operation whose best known application is the discovery of communities in social networks. Graph clustering and community detection have traditionally focused on graphs without attributes, with the notable exception of edge weights. However, these models only provide a partial representation of real…

Data on face-to-face contacts in an office building suggest a low-cost vaccination strategy based on community linkers

MATHIEU GÉNOIS, CHRISTIAN L. VESTERGAARD, JULIE FOURNET et al. · 16 Mar 2015

Abstract Empirical data on contacts between individuals in social contexts play an important role in providing information for models describing human behavior and how epidemics spread in populations. Here, we analyze data on face-to-face contacts collected in an office building. The statistical properties of contacts are similar to other social situations, but important differences are…

Its importance is established along the lines of a multitude of sociologically relevant dimensions, e.g. sex, ethnicity and social class. Existing research, however, mostly focuses on one dimension at a time. But…

Uncovering the structure and temporal dynamics of information propagation

Manuel Gomez-Rodriguez, Jure Leskovec, David Balduzzi et al. · 1 Apr 2014

Abstract Time plays an essential role in the diffusion of information, influence, and disease over networks. In many cases we can only observe when a node is activated by a contagion—when a node learns about a piece of information, makes a decision, adopts a new behavior, or becomes infected with a disease. However, the underlying…
